Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Thoroughly rinse the broccolini and asparagus under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccolini, asparagus, and zucchini. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the vegetables.
Season the vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper, then toss to evenly coat the vegetables with the oil and seasonings.
Zest and juice the lemon, then set them aside separately.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook for about 7 minutes, then flip the vegetables and grill for another 5-8 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly charred.
While the vegetables are grilling, combine the reserved lemon zest and juice with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon and olive oil mixture over the grilled vegetables.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top of the dish to garnish.
Serve immediately while warm as a delicious low-carb side dish.
