Grilled Zucchini, Onions, and Red Peppers image

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!

Very simple and very good! I have made this many times in the past when I have lots of zucchini overflowing in my garden. Even better if you can use fresh cut corn from the cob.
