Steps:
- Place ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside 10 minutes+.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine first 6 ingredients and mix well using a wire whisk.

- Baste with remaining broth mixture and turn vegetables, grilling an additional 7 minutes or until tender.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to grilling. Some, like zucchini and bell peppers, hold up well to high heat and can be grilled directly over the flames. Others, like tomatoes and mushrooms, are more delicate and should be grilled over indirect heat or in a grill basket.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If you're grilling smaller vegetables, like cherry tomatoes or baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them caramelize and develop flavor on the grill.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is the ideal temperature for grilling vegetables.
- Grill the vegetables in batches. Don't overcrowd the grill, or the vegetables will steam instead of grill.
- Flip the vegetables frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Remove the vegetables from the grill when they are tender-crisp. You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Serve the vegetables immediately. Grilled vegetables are best enjoyed fresh off the grill.
