MARINADE: A good marinade has an oil and an acid.

Other spices to use are Italian seasoning, a garlic herb seasoning or some low carb blackening seasoning.

How To Grill Vegetables
Marinate prepared vegetables for at least 30 minutes. PRO TIP: Use a large zippered bag and avoid washing a dish! Grill 7-12 minutes or until veggies are slightly charred. A grill pan is perfect for veggies so they don’t slip through the grates! Sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese before serving, if you like!
Tips For Success!
Cut pieces to uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate. Keep cooked portions warm wrapped in foil on a cooler part of the grill or in the oven. Broil all the cooked vegetables on a sheet pan or in the air fryer to get them extra crispy before serving.
If making kabobs, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using so they don’t catch fire on the grill!

Grilled Vegetables
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces large mushrooms brown or white
- 1 small bunch asparagus trimmed
- 1 medium zucchini sliced ½-inch thick
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pinch kosher salt or to taste
- 1 pinch pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Toss vegetables with the marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip bag. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium high.
- Add the vegetables to the grill and cook 7-12 minutes turning occasionally and removing vegetables to a plate as they are cooked.
Notes
- You may use a zip bag to marinate veggies instead of a bowl.
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking, especially if using a skewer or basket.
- Use a grill basket to prevent veggies from slipping through the grates.
- If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent charring or catching fire.
- As you remove the cooked vegetables, wrap them in foil to keep them warm. Just before serving, pop the open wrap back on the grill or under a broiler to reheat and crisp up the edges.
- Veggies will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Reheat in a foil wrap, or use leftovers in other recipes.
