Grilling vegetables

Ahh, summer is here, the Fourth of July around the corner, grilling season has arrived! There are many methods for grilling vegetables, from shish kebobs to simply laying the vegetables right on the grill. Most people marinate their vegetables before grilling. You can use any marinade you like, including French, Italian or ranch salad dressing, sweet and sour, barbeque or teriyaki sauce. Here's a simple marinade I especially enjoy with zucchini and eggplant, served with fresh tomato wedges on the side.

The Marinade

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 large clove of garlic, finely minced
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1) Start the grill
2) Slice the vegetables on a diagonal, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick
3) Marinate for at least 1 hour
4) Place vegetables on the grill and roast 3-5 minutes per side
5) Enjoy
