Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 red bell peppers, seeded and halved
3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 zucchini (about 12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 Japanese eggplant (12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
12 cremini mushrooms
1 bunch (1-pound) asparagus, trimmed
12 green onions, roots cut off
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES

Marinated Grilled Vegetables image

You'll always want a batch of these around: From the vegetables you grill to the seasonings you use, this recipe is endlessly adaptable. It also keeps for a few days and has so many applications. After the vegetables come off the grill, they soak in a piquant bath of coarse mustard, shallot and vinegar, though you could adjust flavorings as you wish: Add fresh or dried chile; thyme or rosemary; anchovy or capers; or a protein like feta, cubed salami, tofu or chickpeas. Then, use these deeply flavored vegetables on sandwiches, grilled bread, salads, frittatas, alongside grilled meat or fish, and so on.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds grilling vegetables, such as peppers (bell, shishito, mini), broccoli rabe, broccolini, asparagus, radicchio, fennel, corn, zucchini, eggplant, green beans or snap peas

Steps:

Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn one of the end burners off before cooking.
While the grill is heating, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the vegetables into pieces that are large enough so as to not slip through the grates; for small or slender vegetables, like snap peas or green beans, leave them whole. Pat the vegetables dry, then transfer to a sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat.
When you're ready to grill, take the marinade, vegetables, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the vegetables over the flame, flipping occasionally, until well browned and tender, 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the density and size of the vegetables. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) As the vegetables finish, transfer them to the marinade. Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 5 minutes. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Tips for Perfect Herb Marinated Grilled Vegetables:

Choose Fresh, Vibrant Vegetables: Select vegetables that are firm, colorful, and at their peak. Fresh vegetables will absorb the marinade better and grill more evenly.

Slice Vegetables Uniformly: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes and shapes to ensure even cooking. Smaller vegetables like cherry tomatoes or baby carrots can be left whole.

Create a Flavorful Marinade: Use a combination of fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings to create a marinade that complements the vegetables. Customize the marinade to suit your taste preferences.

Marinate for Optimal Flavor: Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the vegetables and enhance their taste.

Preheat the Grill: Before grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to create a good sear and prevent sticking.

Grill Vegetables in Batches: Grill the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking. Use a grill basket or skewers to make flipping easier.

Keep an Eye on the Grill: Keep a close eye on the vegetables while grilling to prevent burning. Flip them occasionally to ensure even cooking and grill marks.

Conclusion:

Herb marinated grilled vegetables are a delicious and versatile side dish that can complement various main courses. With the right combination of fresh herbs, olive oil, and seasonings, you can create a marinade that enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables. By following these tips, you can grill vegetables that are packed with flavor, have a beautiful sear, and are perfectly tender.
