Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper (quartered lengthwise)
- 1 yellow squash (sliced diagonally into ½-inch pieces)
- 1 zucchini (sliced diagonally into ½-inch pieces)
- 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed)
- 1 red onion (sliced into ½-inch rings)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (halved lengthwise)
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Arrange Vegetables: Place the prepared vegetables on a sheet pan in separate groups for even seasoning and marinating.
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate Vegetables: Pour the marinade over the vegetables and use your hands to toss them thoroughly. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot before adding the vegetables for optimal searing and grill marks.
- Grill Vegetables in Stages: Start by grilling the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms with the lid closed for about 8–10 minutes until tender and lightly charred. Then, add the yellow squash, zucchini, and asparagus and grill for an additional 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer grilled vegetables to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and garnish with lemon wedges for a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
- For even cooking, keep similar-sized pieces and arrange vegetables in groups on the grill.
- Marinating the vegetables enhances their flavor and helps prevent sticking on the grill.
- Use a grill pan indoors if outdoor grilling is not possible.
- Adjust grilling times according to thickness of vegetables and heat intensity.
- Serve as a side dish or combine with grains or proteins for a complete meal.
