👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Wash and prepare all vegetables: trim woody ends from asparagus, slice zucchini into half-moons, slice bell peppers into strips, and cut red onion into wedges.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl or a gallon-sized zip-top bag, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
  3. 3
    Add all prepared vegetables to the marinade. Toss gently until all vegetables are evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  4. 4
    While vegetables marinate, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. 5
    Carefully place the marinated vegetables onto the hot grill grates in a single layer. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and nicely charred.
  6. 6
    Remove grilled vegetables from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a colourful and flavourful side dish.

💡 Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, these veggies can be roasted in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
