Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice red bell peppers into large strips and zucchini and yellow squash into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and slice the cremini mushrooms in half, retaining their natural shape.
Cut the red onion into wedges, ensuring the layers remain intact for easy grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Zest the lemon and add the zest to the vegetables, then cut the lemon into wedges.
Place the vegetables on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they have nice grill marks and are tender-crisp.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the grilled vegetables before serving. Serve warm.
