Instructions

Preparation

1. Whisk together the marinade/dressing ingredients.

3. Brush the marinade/dressing onto the slices of vegetables, ensuring both sides are coated. Cover and let sit for 1 hour to enhance the flavors.

Grilling

1. Heat a grill or stove-top pan over medium heat.
2. Grill the vegetables, zucchini/squash and carrots, until they develop grill marks. The zucchini should be firm and not mushy, while the carrots may take longer to cook.

4. Serve the dish warm or at room temperature. Servings are estimated.
