Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Chop your chosen vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Place the chopped vegetables into a large bowl or zip-top bag, then pour the prepared marinade over the top. Toss gently to coat and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 120 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 400°F. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated vegetables directly on the grates or in a grill basket. Grill the vegetables for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Serve immediately while hot.
