Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4 inch rounds or half-moons, depending on size. Core the red bell pepper and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel and slice the red onion into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper pieces, red onion slices, and whole cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables into a grill basket for easier handling over the grill.
Place the grill basket on the preheated grill. Cook the vegetables for about 20 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are tender and have developed grill marks.
Once done, remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the grilled vegetables, toss until evenly combined.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the vegetables just before serving. Toss one final time.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a vegetarian main dish. Perfect with grilled meats or on its own!
