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!

Tips:

- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. For the zucchini and red peppers, cut them into 1-inch thick slices. For the onions, cut them into 1-inch thick wedges.
- Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help them flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can get more creative and add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before you start cooking the vegetables. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Grill the vegetables: Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Be sure to turn the vegetables frequently so that they cook evenly.
- Serve the vegetables: Grilled zucchini, onions, and red peppers can be served as a side dish or as a main course. You can also use them to top salads, pizzas, or pasta dishes.
