Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise

- 2 red bell peppers, quartered
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges

Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Preheat grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for direct cooking of the vegetables.
- Prepare vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, red onion, asparagus, and mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
