Healthy Grilled Vegetable Marinade 🔗

This healthy marinade for grilled vegetables uses balsamic vinegar in place of sugar. Marinate the veggies after grilling for best results.

Prep: 10min

Total: 25min

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium zucchini (- sliced into bite sized pieces)
  • 1 red onion (- sliced into rings)
  • 1 bell pepper (- top and seeds removed and sliced into strips)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (- halved)
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 eggplant (- sliced into bite sized pieces)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instruction:

  1. Chop up all of the vegetables and heat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl or jar and set aside.
  3. Place vegetables in a large bowl or on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle very lightly with salt and pepper (about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp each). Toss to coat. If desired, use a grill pan to help prevent the veggies from falling through the grill.
  4. Place veggies on the grill to cook, about 5-6 minutes per side. You want the veggies to get a nice char from the grill, but pull them off before they get too soft.
  5. Remove veggies from the grill and place them in a bowl (you can use the same bowl you used earlier). Pour the marinade over the veggies and gently toss to coat.
  6. Allow the veggies to sit for 5 minutes to soak up the flavors. Serve and enjoy.

What is the best way to cook vegetables on the grill?

Soft vegetables (Broccoli, Tomatoes, Greens, etc.) should be marinated for about 10 minutes; semi-hard vegetables (Green Beans, Asparagus, Peppers, etc.) should be marinated for at least 30 minutes and up to several hours.
