• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 whole Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice red bell peppers into large strips and zucchini and yellow squash into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and slice the cremini mushrooms in half, retaining their natural shape.

Step 4

Cut the red onion into wedges, ensuring the layers remain intact for easy grilling.

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.

Step 6

Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.

Step 7

Zest the lemon and add the zest to the vegetables, then cut the lemon into wedges.

Step 8

Place the vegetables on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they have nice grill marks and are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the grilled vegetables before serving. Serve warm.
