Description
These grilled veggies have a delicious balsamic marinade. I like to make a huge batch of grilled veggies to have on hand for the week to use as a side, salad topping, or stir into my lazy pasta dinner.
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 3–4 bell peppers, quartered
- 1 eggplant, cut into 1/2” thick rounds
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 bunch spring green onions
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, for garnish
For the Balsamic Marinade:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Garlic Herb Dipping Oil:
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients.
- Place the vegetables (except for the green onions) in a Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat the veggies. Place in the refrigerator and marinade for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the garlic herb dipping oil, place of the ingredients into a food processor or mini chopper and pulse to blend and combine (this could also be done in a bowl if you don’t have either of these tools. Simply mince the herbs and garlic and whisk in with the rest of the ingredients.)
- Turn the grill on medium-low heat. Place the veggies directly on the grill (or on a grill pan if you prefer) and grill for 8 minutes on each side. For more delicate vegetables, such as the green onions and asparagus, cook for 5-10 minutes, tossing every few minutes to keep them from burning.
- When the vegetables are cooked, remove from the grill. Add to a plate and garnish with extra parsley and/or basil and a sprinkle of pine nuts. Serve with the garlic herb dipping oil and enjoy!
