Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
- 1 red onion
- 2 zucchinis
- 2 yellow squash
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tbsp of thyme
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing all the vegetables and patting them dry. Cut the bell peppers, red onion, zucchinis, and yellow squash into even, bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly on the grill and make it easier to eat.
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until well-combined.
Marinate the Vegetables
Place all the vegetables into a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss until all the vegetables are well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat up the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a little bit of oil to prevent the vegetables from sticking and burning.
Grill the Vegetables
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated vegetables on the grates in a single layer. Cook the vegetables for 10-15 minutes, turning them over every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly. You want to see grill marks on both sides of the vegetables and for them to be tender.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the vegetables are done, carefully remove them from the grill using tongs. Arrange them on a large platter and serve them hot. These grilled vegetables are the perfect side dish for any summer meal. Enjoy!
Conclusion
Grilled vegetables with lemon and thyme are an excellent addition to any summer barbecue or party. With minimal effort, you can create a delicious side dish that is both healthy and flavorful. Follow this recipe step by step and you will have perfectly grilled vegetables in no time. Enjoy!
