Steps:
- Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
- In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
- Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

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 for a Perfect Summer Veggie Medley
1. Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your medley is packed with flavor and nutrients. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. 2. Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of vegetables, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate. 3. Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast. This will result in a soggy, bland medley. 4. Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture. Aim for a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. 5. Season the vegetables generously. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to taste. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. 6. Toss the vegetables halfway through roasting. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan. 7. Serve the medley immediately. Summer veggie medley is best served hot, right out of the oven.Conclusion
