    This Grilled Vegetable Platter is a quick and easy summer side or appetizer. It's the perfect way to use all those fresh summer vegetables. Serve it as is or with your favorite sauce (like chimichurri, pesto, tzatziki, or romesco).

    Ingredients You'll Need

    Red Onion: Slice a red onion into ½" thick slices. Be careful to keep the rings together for easy grilling.

    Yellow Squash and Zucchini: One of each, sliced diagonally into ½" thick ovals.

    Olive Oil: A drizzle of your favorite olive oil for both flavor and to prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.

    Chimichurri Sauce: Drizzle over the grilled vegetable plate for some added flavor. Or you can use your favorite sauce.

    How to Grill Vegetables

    It's so easy to make this grilled vegetable platter. You cook the vegetables directly on the grill, and can even make them at the same time as you grill meat or cook your main dish.

    1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
    2. Prepare the summer vegetables. Slice them accordingly then toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
    3. Grill the vegetables for 3-5 minutes per side. Try not to flip them or disturb them until it's time to flip them to give them those perfect char marks and to make sure they don't stick to the grates. They release easily to flip once they are ready.
    4. Serve on a large plate or platter as is or with your favorite sauce.
