Ingredients

  • 8 mini bell peppers (or 2 large bell peppers cut into ¼s) $1.44
  • 1 zucchini $0.93
  • 1 red onion $1.23
  • 6-8 cherry tomatoes, whole on vine* $1.66
  • 8 mushrooms** $1.04
  • 1 yellow squash $0.89
  • 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil $0.27
  • 1 clove garlic, minced $0.05
  • 1 tsp steak seasoning $0.12
  • ½ tsp sugar $0.01

Instructions

  • Slice zucchini lengthwise, about ¼ thick, using a mandoline on the thickest setting or a knife. Cut red onion into thick rings, destem mushrooms, and cut yellow squash into thick discs, about ¼ thick. Rinse bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.
  • Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, ½ tsp steak seasoning, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Brush olive oil mixture over the veggies.
  • Add onions to the grill while preheating to 400 degrees. Add all other veggies to the grill and grill for 4 minutes, until you get distinct grill marks.
  • Flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes or until veggies are done to your liking. I like my grilled vegetables to still have some bite to them, so I am careful to not overcook them! Onions can cook a bit longer and become nice and sweet when they cook down a bit (and help flavor the grill for the other veggies as well!)
  • Sprinkle on the remaining ½ tsp steak seasoning and (optional) serve with BudgetBytes chimichurri!

Notes

*You can use any tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes on the vine, but I recommend leaving them whole. The outside will get some nice color, and the inside will be warm and flavorful. They may burst a little but will remain mostly intact if you are gentle with them.
**You can substitute any mushroom for the baby bella mushrooms. Mushrooms are forgiving when it comes to grilling, and they all taste amazing, pretty much no matter what!
This recipe serves 8 people as a side, about 1.5 cups of veggies per person.
