Ingredients
  

2 zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

8 ounces (about 225g) cherry tomatoes, whole

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced zucchinis, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to coat them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly lit and ashed over.

        Grill the Vegetables: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill or use a vegetable grilling basket. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until vegetables are tender and have beautiful grill marks.

          Check for Doneness: The vegetables should be cooked through but still firm. The cherry tomatoes may begin to burst slightly, adding a wonderful flavor.

            Serve: Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately as a side dish, or use them as a delicious topping for salads, sandwiches, or pasta.
