Recipe: Grilled (or Roasted) Vegetables

Ingredients

  • ½ cauliflower head, cut into small florets
  • ½ broccoli head, cut into small florets
  • 2 zucchini, halved lengthwise then cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 cups mushrooms, halved
  • 2 red, orange or yellow peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 sweet potato, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven or grill to 400 degrees F if roasting. If grilling, prepare a hot fire.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, onion, olive oil, garlic and thyme until well mixed.
  3. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet if using the oven, or in a grill basket if using the grill. You can use heavy-duty tin foil over the grill grates if you do not have a basket. Gently pour the vegetables directly onto the foil.
  4. If roasting, cook until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, 30-40 minutes. Grilled vegetables may take less time.
  5. Enjoy!

Note: mix it up by adding in your favorite vegetables. Asparagus or carrots make great additions.
