Start by preparing your vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into strips, cut the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4-inch rounds, trim the ends of the asparagus, and cut the red onion into thick wedges.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Lightly coat the vegetables using the olive oil spray; use just enough to slightly coat them.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the vegetables, tossing them to ensure they are well coated with the spices.
Using a grill basket or by threading onto skewers, place the seasoned vegetables onto the preheated grill.
Grill for 8 to 10 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 8 to 10 minutes on the other side, or until vegetables are tender and have a nice char.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or over a bed of quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
