Reasons You'll Love It

A delicious way to enjoy a variety of fresh vegetables with a sweet and savory twist. The teriyaki marinade adds a rich flavor that caramelizes beautifully on the grill, making each bite full of taste and texture.

Directions

Warm up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. In a big bowl, mix together the mushrooms, onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, add the garlic and a pinch of ground pepper, then gently toss everything so the veggies get nicely coated without breaking up the onion pieces. Once your grill is ready, spread the vegetables out and cook them for about 5 to 10 minutes, turning them once halfway through. You want to grill them until they start to get tender but still have a bit of bite.
