Grilled Vegetable Marinade

Grilled Vegetable Marinade

½ cup olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
1 tablespoon fresh or 1-2 teaspoons dried herbs (thyme, parsley, mint, dill, etc.)
1-teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon pepper

Slice fresh vegetables:  zucchini, summer squash, red onion, red peppers, beets, sweet potato, asparagus, green beans, portabella mushrooms, fennel, eggplant or any other vegetable that you enjoy!

Place cut vegetables in a glass container, toss with the marinade and cover.  Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Note:  It’s best to cut the eggplant right before grilling and brush it with the marinade.  The eggplant will get soggy if you marinate it with the other vegetables.

These delicious grilled vegetables can be added to salads, used in wraps w/hummus, or just enjoy them as a healthy snack!
