Ingredients
  • 1 medium Eggplant
  • 2 medium Zucchini
  • 3 Bell Peppers (various colors)
  • 1 large Red Onion
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Thyme
  • 3 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Balsamic Glaze (optional)

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the eggplant and zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices. Core the bell peppers and cut them into large pieces. Halve the red onion. Leave cherry tomatoes whole. Trim the ends of the asparagus.

Make the Herb Marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Marinate the Vegetables

Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated. Let the vegetables marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, at room temperature. The longer they marinate, the more flavorful they will be.

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and covered with a light ash.

Grill the Vegetables

Place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill grates. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the vegetables and the heat of your grill.

Assemble and Serve

Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze (optional). Serve immediately. The grilled vegetables are delicious served warm or at room temperature.
