Categories     Onions

Time 32m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large red onion, peeled and cut crosswise into four 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, sliced lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick planks (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
1 garlic clove, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Putonion rounds, from side to side, onto 2 metal skewers. Brush onion and zucchini evenly with ¼ cup olive oil and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt) and pepper to taste.
  • Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, mustard, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or ¼ teaspoon table salt) together in small bowl; set aside.
  • Grill vegetables over medium heat, turning once, until tender and caramelized, 18 to 22 minutes (move vegetables as needed to ensure even cooking). Transfer vegetables to platter; remove skewers from onion and discard any charred outer rings. Rewhisk vinaigrette and pour over vegetables. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables for grilling: Vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms are great options because they can withstand the heat of the grill without becoming mushy.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the vegetables so that they can cook properly.
  • Flip the vegetables occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Remove the vegetables from the grill when they are tender: You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a grilled vegetable dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
