Recipe: Mixed Grilled Seasoned Vegetables

Serves: 6 (generously) / Preparation time: 15 minutes Total time: 30 minutes This vegetable mix is a nice, colorful blend to serve with any grilled foods.

2 red bell peppers, cored, cut into quarters

2 medium zucchini, washed, sliced 1/2-inch thick on the diagonal

8 asparagus spears, washed

2 medium onions, peeled, cut 1/2-inch thick

3 tablespoons olive oil

Favorite all-purpose seasoning, such as Morton's Nature Season Seasoning

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Minced fresh herbs for serving such as tarragon, thyme and parsley

Preheat the grill to medium high.

Prepare all the vegetables. Place the peppers, zucchini and asparagus in a large bowl. Place the onions, keeping the rings intact, on a platter. Brush each side of the onions with a little olive oil. Drizzle the remaining oil over the vegetables in the bowl. Season all the vegetables with all-purpose seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.

Place the vegetables on the grill, and grill until crisp-tender on each side. The onions and peppers will take about 8 minutes, and the zucchini and asparagus will take about 5 minutes.

Arrange the grilled vegetables on a platter and garnish with minced fresh herbs.
