Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 red bell peppers, seeded and halved
3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 zucchini (about 12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 Japanese eggplant (12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
12 cremini mushrooms
1 bunch (1-pound) asparagus, trimmed
12 green onions, roots cut off
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

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.

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.
