Balsamic Grilled Vegetables
Description
In this recipe, sliced zucchini and yellow squash rings, halved or quartered baby bella mushrooms, snap peas, and sliced onion are combined in a bowl. A marinade made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper is whisked together and poured over the vegetables, which are then tossed to coat evenly. The mixture is allowed to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
The vegetables are grilled in a preheated, oiled grilling basket over medium-high heat at about 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure even cooking and caramelization. The high heat creates browned edges and keeps a pleasant firmness inside.
The caramelized balsamic and olive oil balance acidity and richness, complementing the fresh vegetable flavors. These grilled vegetables pair well as a simple side for grilled meats, sandwiches, or grain bowls, adding color and a touch of acidity.
