Description
Grilled Veggies with Marinade is a vibrant, smoky summer side dish made with fresh vegetables tossed in a tangy balsamic herb marinade and grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Slice bell peppers into strips, cut zucchini into rounds, and chop red onion into chunks.
- Place vegetables in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly.
- Let the vegetables marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates or a grill basket.
- Grill vegetables for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from grill, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.
