  • 1 yellow bell pepper, quartered and seeded
  • 1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 red onion, sliced into thick rings

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from grill and set aside.
