Grilled Mixed Vegetables
Bursting with flavor, these grilled mixed vegetables are quite a crowd-pleaser! This super easy and colorful side dish goes well with any grilled meat and seafood.
Ingredients
For marinade:
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh parsley
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
Vegetables:
- 3 zucchini
- 3 yellow summer squash
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the marinade, finely chop parsley. You can use as much or as little as you want.
- In a large bowl, mix together chopped parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic.
- To prepare vegetables, trim ends of zucchini and yellow squash and slice them in half length-wise. Make shallow slits on the inside of squashes. Arrange on a baking dish.
- Trim the ends of asparagus and arrange on the same baking dish with zucchini.
- Cut red onion into large piece and separate the layers.
- Brush the marinade on the prepared zucchini, squashes and asparagus.
- Add sliced red onion and cherry tomatoes into the bowl of marinade. Toss to combine. At this point you can refrigerate everything until ready to use, for 2-3 hours, or move right ahead.
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat, oil the grates.
- Meanwhile, thread tomatoes and red onion on skewers. You can use either metal or wooden skewers. (Make sure to soak the wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes prior.)
- To grill, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over about 4 minutes for the asparagus; 7 minutes for zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes.
- Cut up grilled zucchini, squashes and asparagus into small pieces.
- To serve, combine all the grilled veggies in the same bowl with leftover marinade. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more freshly parsley, if desired.
