Easy 4-Ingredient Grilled Vegetables Recipe Perfect for Beginners

Easy 4-Ingredient Grilled Vegetables - featured image

A simple and quick grilled vegetable recipe using just four ingredients, perfect for beginners and anyone looking for a healthy, flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into large strips
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C), about 10 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini and bell peppers. Slice zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds and cut bell peppers into large strips.
  3. Place the veggies in a large bowl or tray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss gently until lightly coated.
  4. Arrange the veggies directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket in a single layer, avoiding crowding.
  5. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden grill marks appear and veggies are tender but still hold a bit of bite.
  6. Remove from grill, transfer to a serving plate, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the grill to avoid steaming. Dry vegetables well before oiling to ensure crispiness. Flip veggies only once for best grill marks and texture. Season after grilling if desired. If no grill is available, roast in a 425°F oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
