- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Add the honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are fully combined and a smooth marinade forms.
Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup to balance flavors.
Place your chopped vegetables of choice (such as zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, or asparagus) in a large mixing bowl or zip-top bag.
Pour the marinade over the vegetables, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Use your hands or a spoon to toss the vegetables thoroughly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for optimal flavor.
After marinating, your vegetables are ready to grill, roast, or stir-fry. Enjoy!
