A delicious recipe for juicy Mediterranean grilled vegetables. Summer vegetables and button mushrooms are seasoned and grilled to perfection! This recipe can be easily adjusted to your liking.

Making grilled vegetables is easy when you use a tray. It can be any kind of a deep baking tray/sheet or disposable aluminum tray, as long as it is large enough to hold all the grilled vegetables.

The preparations itself is simple and consists of washing and cutting mostly. This grilled vegetables recipe can be doubled or halved, if needed. It’s a tasty side dish that goes so well with various grilled meats.

I like to serve them with grilled chicken thighs as they are affordable and stay juicy after grilling. One of my favorite grilled recipes of this summer are Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs. I used a simple marinade that gives them a ton of flavor.

They taste amazing served with these grilled vegetables but you can also serve them with Goat Cheese Salad or Garlic Smashed Potatoes or anything you like.

How to make Mediterranean grilled vegetables

Rinse all the veggies. Make sure the button mushrooms are free from any dirt.

Then all you have to do is cut each vegetable into chunks. I like to cut the onion into quarters and separate all the layers. Zucchini is cut in half lengthwise and then each half into chunks.

You can keep cherry tomatoes as they are or halve them as well. I prefer halving them as they release some of their juices into the veggies.

Cut the mushrooms in halves and you are done. Throw the prepped vegetables apart from cherry tomatoes into a tray that you will use for grilling. Then, add salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil and mix everything well.

Throw the whole tray onto your grill and cook for 10 minutes. Stir from time to time. After 10 minutes, add cherry tomatoes to the tray with grilled vegetables and cook for a further 10 minutes or until they look to your liking.

If you think they need more time on the grill, then leave them there longer.

What vegetables can you grill?

I’d say summer vegetables are the best choice for grilling – aubergines, peppers, sweetcorn, mushrooms, zucchini, onions, .… Also asparagus, lettuce ….

Tips for making grilled vegetables

• This recipe can be easily adjusted to your liking. If you prefer more zucchini, add more. If you don’t like it, feel free to omit it completely. My personal favorites among these grilled vegetables are definitely mushrooms, onions and peppers so I recommend keeping these.
• I used yellow and green bell peppers, but you can use any color you like or have on hand. Also, any kind of sweet pepper will work here.
