Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼ inch rounds

1 medium yellow squash, sliced into ¼ inch rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thick strips

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup asparagus, trimmed

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Feta cheese, crumbled for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

    Marinate the Vegetables: Add all the prepared vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus) to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to coat all the veggies evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

        Grill the Vegetables: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated vegetables onto the grill grates. Grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender. Cherry tomatoes may take less time, so keep an eye on them to prevent them from bursting.

          Serve: Arrange the grilled veggies on a large platter. Optionally, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil leaves for extra flavor and presentation.

            Enjoy: Serve warm as a vibrant side dish or over a bed of mixed greens for a delightful main course. Drizzle any leftover balsamic marinade on top for added zest.
