Steps:
- On a large baking sheet, lay out the ears of Private Selection™ Wild Violet Corn, Private Selection™ Ruby Rows™ Tomatoes, Private Selection™ Onion wedges, Private Selection® Little Gem Lettuce Hearts, orange and yellow bell pepper rings, and portobello mushroom slices. Brush everything with ⅓ cup Private Selection® Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with the kosher salt and black pepper.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the oil, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, oregano and garlic powder. Pour marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the vegetables. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours. {I usually make it in the morning and just marinade all day.}
- 2. Place vegetables on a grilling grid. Transfer to grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender.
- 3. Transfer to a large serving platter. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Tips:
- Choose firm, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that they grill evenly and maintain their shape.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil. This will help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Grill the vegetables over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Flip the vegetables occasionally. This will help them cook evenly.
- Remove the vegetables from the grill when they are tender. You can test this by piercing them with a fork.
- Serve the grilled vegetables immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Grilling vegetables is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy them. With a little planning and effort, you can create a grilled vegetable platter that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give grilled vegetables a try!
