Balsamic Grilled Vegetables

 

Ingredients

3 Bell Peppers (I chose 2 green, 1 red, 1 yellow), stems removed, seeded and cut in thirds

1 green zucchini, sliced on highest setting on mandolin

1 yellow squash, sliced on highest setting on mandolin

2 Portobello mushrooms, stems removed and use a spoon on the inside to remove the gills

1 Sweet onion, sliced in 1" thick slices

2-3 Roma tomatoes sliced in half

Balsamic Vinaigrette:

3/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup good quality balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

1 Tablespoon freshly chopped basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano and dried thyme (add fresh rosemary, thyme ~ play around with it)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients for the balsamic vinaigrette in a bowl
2. Place your peppers and onion (try to keep the onion together in one slice) in a large Ziploc bag. Place the mushrooms, zucchini and tomatoes in another bag
3. Pour 3/4 of the vinaigrette over the veggies and let marinate at least an hour
4. Heat the grill to high
5. Starting with the peppers and onions, grill w/o turning for approx. 8-10 minutes, checking frequently that the temperature isn't too high and the veggies aren't burning
6. Turn the peppers and onions over, add the mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes
7. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and cook for approx. 4 min
8. Flip veggies if you see them burning or remove to lower heat
