Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced Zucchini
- 1 cup sliced Bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced Red onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped Fresh oregano
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
- Step 1: Toss 2 cups sliced zucchini, 1 cup sliced bell peppers, and 1/2 cup sliced red onion in a bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, and 1 tsp lemon zest until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a preheated grill over medium-high heat, then close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until edges are charred and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Step 3: Check for doneness by piercing a pepper slice with a fork—it should yield easily but retain slight resistance, with visible grill marks and a smoky aroma.
