Instructions

Marinate the Vegetables: Place all the prepared vegetables into a gallon ziplock bag. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Pour this marinade over the vegetables in the bag, seal it tightly, and massage gently to coat all pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the vegetables from the marinade after chilling and transfer them to a large grill basket to keep them from falling through the grates.
Grill the Vegetables: Place the grill basket on the grill and cook the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill until the vegetables are tender and have a nice char, enhancing their natural flavors.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes but up to 2 hours.
You can use any variety of vegetables you prefer or have on hand.
Turn the vegetables frequently on the grill to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
If you don’t have a grill basket, use skewers or grill directly on the grates with careful monitoring.
To make this dish gluten-free, replace soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free alternative.
