Ingredients
For the Grilled Vegetables Marinade:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Grilled Vegetables:

- 2 zucchini cut into sixths
- 2 yellow squash cut into sixths

Instructions
To Make the Marinade:
- Set out a 1-2 cup measuring pitcher. Measure all ingredients into the pitcher. Whisk until smooth. (Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for later use.)
Cup of Yum
For the Best Grilled Vegetables:
- Trim and slice all the vegetables into long strips. This makes them less likely to fall through the grill grates.
- Place the vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Then gently toss the veggies to coat in the marinade.
- Allow the vegetables to marinate for 30+ minutes. (Or up to several hours.)
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350 degrees F.
- Once the grill is hot, place the carrots on first, laying them across the grates so they don’t fall through. Let the carrots grill for 3-4 minutes, then flip them over. Then lay the rest of the vegetables on the grill. Grill another 8-10 minutes, flipping once. Remove with tongs.
Notes
- You can use any vegetables you like with this marinade. Just be sure to place the hardest, most dense, vegetables on the grill first to give them a head start. Root vegetables will need more time to grill than other vegetables.
