Steps:
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
- Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Whisk dressing ingredients and some seasoning in a large bowl. Heat a griddle pan. Blacken peppers on all sides. Put in a bowl and cover with a plate until cool to touch.
- Griddle the other veg, without oiling, until charred on each side and softening. As they cook toss them straight into the dressing, separating onions into rings. Peel peppers, reserving the juice in the bowl, deseed and cut into strips. Toss in with the rest of the veg, then strain the juice over. Leave everything to cool, then season. The salad can be kept in the fridge for 2 days, but bring it out a few hrs before serving. Then stir through parsley and garlic.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Some vegetables are better suited for grilling than others. Look for vegetables that are firm and have a high water content, such as zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For smaller vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes and snap peas, you can leave them whole.
- Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will add flavor and help them stay moist while grilling.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat before adding the vegetables. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the vegetables in batches: Don't overcrowd the grill, or the vegetables will not cook evenly. Grill the vegetables in batches, if necessary.
- Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly on all sides.
- Remove the vegetables from the grill when they are tender: Do not overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy. Remove them from the grill when they are still slightly firm.
Conclusion:
Grilled vegetables are a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed all year long. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a variety of grilled vegetable dishes that will please everyone at your table.
