Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 large red bell peppers
• 1 large red onion
• 4 large caps portobello mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, the red bell peppers into large chunks, and the red onion into wedges. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and leave them whole.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Place the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Allow the vegetables to marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.

Step 4

Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill. Cook the zucchini rounds, bell pepper chunks, and onion wedges for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until charred and tender. Grill the portobello mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side, or until softened and smoky.

Step 6

Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any leftover marinade from the mixing bowl over the grilled vegetables for extra flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a side dish, or pair with rice or crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy the smoky heat of your 'Grilled Veggies That Bite Back'!
