Fire Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

    Season the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar until evenly coated.

    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet or grill basket. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and charred.

    Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil before serving.
