Ingredients

• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 medium Eggplant
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 10 leaves Fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant into 1-inch slices. Cut the red onion into thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Zest the lemon and add the zest to the mixture, then juice the lemon and add the juice to the marinade.

Step 4

Add all the prepared vegetables and cherry tomatoes into the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 5

Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Place the vegetables on the grill, arranging them in a single layer. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter. Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the vegetables for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve the Mediterranean Diet Grilled Veggie Medley warm, either as a main course or as a vibrant side dish.
