GRILLED PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI
This versatile side dish is so simple and quick that I had to share it. Grilling the colorful veggies in a foil packet means one less dish to wash, but I sometimes stir-friy the mixture on the stovetop. -Karen Anderson, Fair Oaks, California

GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS
This is a great recipe to use up all those vegetables that are coming in from the garden about now. Plus, I love to grill, and this just makes it easier to make a complete meal on the grill. These are also good in a pita with garlic mayo or tzatziki sauce! **Prep time does not include the time to get the grill ready for grilling!

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them into quarters.
- Trim, core, and stem the red bell peppers. Cut them into four equal parts from top down.
- Peel the onion and lay it on its side. Cut it inot 1/4 to 1/2 inch circles, being careful to keep the concentric layers in place.
- Place the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers in a shallow baking sheet. Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped garlic, basil, and oregano over the top. Add the Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to taste.
- Place the vegetables on a hot grill with tongs. (If you'd like you can use a grilling basket to keep from losing any of the vegetables through the grill!).
- Cook on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes (or until they are marked) over a medium hot grill. Brush the vegetables with any remaining oil/vinegar mix when you turn them.
- Serve hot or cold!

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers and zucchini. Look for peppers that are firm and have no blemishes. Zucchini should be small and tender, with a deep green color.
- Prepare the vegetables properly. Wash the peppers and zucchini thoroughly, and then cut them into desired shapes and sizes. If grilling whole peppers, remove the stems and seeds.
- Marinate the vegetables. Marinating the vegetables in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help them to develop a delicious grilled flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred. Be sure to flip the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Serve the grilled peppers and zucchini immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or used as a side dish or ingredient in other dishes.
Conclusion:
Grilled peppers and zucchini are a delicious and versatile summer dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a healthy side dish or a flavorful addition to your next barbecue, grilled peppers and zucchini are a great choice.
