Balsamic Grilled Vegetables (VIDEO)

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of Grilled Vegetables floating through the backyard air. Balsamic Grilled Zucchini and Mushrooms is one of our favorite grilled vegetable recipes because it’s so easy. This is even easier than Grilled Vegetable Skewers and takes just 10 minutes to prepare.

If you haven’t tried a vegetable grill basket, I think you will love it! It simplifies grilling sides like these Shrimp Fajitas – so you can enjoy those smoky flavors and smaller sliced ingredients don’t fall through the grates.

The BEST Grilled Vegetables:

Juicy grilled zucchini and squash with crisp snap peas, tender sweet onions and beefy mushrooms. Coated in the easiest light balsamic marinade, this has become our go-to recipe for grilling vegetables in Summer.

For a larger crowd, we double the recipe, whip out 2 grilling baskets at once and make a big grilled vegetable platter. It’s so healthy, and always gets rave reviews. My cousin’s wife, Katya shared this recipe with me years ago and it has been a favorite grilling side ever since. I hope you all enjoy it!

How to Use a Grill Basket:

A grill basket can save space on your grill grates and keeps smaller items from falling through the grates. Use a grilling basket the same way you would use a skillet, except it’s over a grill. You will want to:

• Oil the grilling basket
• Preheat the grilling basket on the grill to prevent sticking (10 minutes with cover closed)
• Cut up vegetables to a similar thickness so they are done at the same time

How to Make Easy Grilled Vegetables:

1. Preheat your grill to med/high (400˚F). Lightly oil a grill basket.
2. Slice vegetables to about equal thickness and place in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together marinade ingredients then drizzle over vegetables and toss to combine. Marinate 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, lightly oil a grilling basket and preheat basket on the grill for 10 minutes.
5. Transfer vegetables to the hot basket and grill 10-12 minutes, tossing a few times. Transfer to a serving platter.
