- Veggies for Grilling
- 4 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 6 mini bell peppers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 lemon
- 3 Tablespoons fresh mint
- Lemon Dill Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lemon (for juice & zest)
- 3 Tablespoons fresh dill
- Sea salt & black pepper to taste
- Clean and oil the outdoor grill. (Alternatively, you can use an indoor grill pan on the stove top.)
- Turn grill on to a medium high heat, cover lid, and allow it to heat up as you prep the veggies.
- Prep the lemon dill marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice (from 1 lemon), fresh minced dill, sea salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. (Chop fresh mint and reserve for garnish.)
- Cut zucchini in half across, and then thinly slice zucchini into long thin strips. Slice red onion and one lemon into rounds. Slice mini bell peppers in half. Optional: you can put the cherry tomatoes onto a skewer if you want to grill them too, or just slice cherry tomatoes in half and serve them fresh.
- Toss sliced veggies in marinade to lightly coat. Shake off as much of the oil marinade as you can before laying each veggie on the grill.
- Grill zucchini and other veggies for a few minutes per side, until lightly charred. The goal is to get flavorful grill marks on each side of the veggies, while lightly cooking the veggies.
- Arrange grilled veggies on a platter or in a salad bowl to serve. Drizzle any remaining marinade over top, and garnish with a little sea salt, black pepper, and fresh mint.
