Ingredients
  

2 large zucchinis, sliced into ½-inch rounds

2 bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into strips

1 large red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, bell peppers, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes.

    Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.

      Marinate the Veggies: Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill basket, place it on the grill to heat.

          Grill the Vegetables: If using a grill basket, add the marinated vegetables to it and grill the mix for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks. If grilling directly, use skewers to thread the vegetables, and grill, turning often, until they are cooked through and charred slightly.

            Final Touches: Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an additional drizzle of olive oil if desired.

              Serve: Enjoy your Garlic Herb Grilled Vegetables warm as a side dish or toss them into a salad or grain bowl for a delicious and colorful meal.
