Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

2 bell peppers (any color), cut into strips

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby carrots

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

    Marinate the Vegetables: Add the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots to the bowl. Toss the vegetables in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a grill basket, make sure it's ready as well.

        Grill the Vegetables: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill or in a grill basket. Grill the vegetables for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Keep an eye on the smaller vegetables like cherry tomatoes to ensure they don’t fall through the grates.

          Serve: Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor. Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a vegetarian main course.
