Ingredients

Grilled Vegetable Marinade
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter diced (if Paleo or Whole30, use clarified butter)
  • 1/3 cup shallots chopped
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 Tablespoons lemon juice about 1
  • 1 Tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetables for Grilling
  • 2 onions sliced 1/4" thick
  • 2 zucchini sliced vertically, 1/4" thick
  • 3 bell peppers cut into quarters
  • 1 bunch asparagus spears ends trimmed
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms brown, white or 2 portabellos
  • 3 carrots sliced vertically or into wedges

Instructions

Grilled Vegetable Marinade
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a heavy sauce pan. Whisk over medium heat until butter melts and sauce is well blended.
  2. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cool. Whisk over low heat to rewarm before using.)
Vegetables
  1. Cut zucchini, carrots and onions about 1/4" thick.
  2. Slice bell peppers into quarters
  3. Skewer the mushrooms if using small mushrooms or remove tough center stem if grilling portobello mushrooms.
  4. Brush both sides of veggies with marinade. They can be wrapped and refrigerated if making them ahead. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Over a medium heat, begin grilling vegetables starting with thickest vegetables first (carrots) and end with the most delicate last. (Asparagus needs just a few minutes)
  6. If there's extra sauce, reheat it and serve it on the side or drizzle over warm vegetables.
