Grilled Balsamic Vegetables
Ingredients
- 1 lb zucchini, cut in half lengthwise & in 1/2 inch thick slices
- 1 lb bell peppers, cut into wide strips
- 1 large red or white onion, cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1/3 cup Italian parsley or basil, chopped
- Cooking spray (I use Misto)
Balsamic Dressing:
- 2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together Balsamic Dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Preheat grill on low and spray with cooking spray. Place vegetables in a single layer on the grill, close the lid and cook for 12 minutes, flipping once.* Vegetables should be tender to the touch, with nice grill marks. Cook longer if you like softer vegetables.
- Transfer vegetables to a large bowl, pour Balsamic Dressing on top, sprinkle with parsley/basil and gently mix. Serve hot, warm or cold. Vegetables taste even better the next day as the flavours continue to "marry" each other.
Storage Instructions: Refrigerate covered for up to 3 - 4 days.
Notes
Grills vary. Cooking time will vary depending on the age and make/model of your grill. I have new Coleman BBQ which is quite powerful if I compare it to my old grill. Use your judgement and experience with your grill.
