Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 8 ounce button mushrooms halved
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing if needed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the vegetables, tossing well to ensure they are evenly coated. For enhanced flavor, let the vegetables marinate for about 30 minutes
  • Preheat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the grill pan is hot, arrange the vegetables in a single layer. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  • Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until tender and lightly charred.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • If vegetables begin to stick or look dry, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for moisture and flavor.
  • Different vegetables cook at different rates. Add longer-cooking vegetables (like onions and peppers) first, followed by quicker-cooking ones (like mushrooms and zucchini) later on.
  • Try my Italian Salad Dressing seasoning mix to season the vegetables!
