Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the broccoli into florets. Trim the asparagus and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and half of the lemon juice. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
Place the vegetables on a grill-safe tray or use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grill grates. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the greens are tender and slightly charred.
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegan main. Enjoy!
