Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch wide strips and the red onion into thick wedges. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to form a smooth marinade.
Add all the prepped vegetables to the bowl, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the vegetables on the grill in an even layer, being careful not to overcrowd them. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
If desired, drizzle the grilled vegetables lightly with balsamic vinegar for added flavor before serving.
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter and enjoy them hot, warm, or at room temperature.
