Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

1 medium yellow squash, sliced into thick rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into large strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into large strips

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes (you can go up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor) at room temperature.

      Preheat the Grill: While the vegetables are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, ensure it is well heated and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Vegetables: Once the grill is hot, remove the vegetables from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Place the vegetables directly onto the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks. The cherry tomatoes may need less time, so watch them closely.

          Serve: Once grilled to perfection, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.

            Enjoy: Serve these vibrant, garlicky herb vegetables hot, as a side dish, or toss them with pasta for a delicious main course!
