of NatashasKitchen.com,

and today I have such a treat for you.

We are making balsamic grilled vegetables.

This is the perfect side dish for any barbecue.

It is so easy, comes together fast,

and it is a crowd pleaser, you guys are gonna love it.

(laughs) Let's get started.

This recipe moves fast,

so preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Slice a medium green zucchini,

and a medium yellow squash into about one-third inch

thick rims.

Transfer those to a large mixing bowl.

Next, you'll need half a pound of baby bella

or brown mushrooms.

Cut the larger mushrooms in half,

and leave the smaller ones whole.

(lighthearted music)

Next, you'll need half of a large yellow,

or sweet onion, cut that into thirds

then separate the pieces.

Place all of the veggies

into the mixing bowl along with half a pound

of snap peas, and toss to combine.

Now to make that simple and delicious balsamic marinade,

you'll need one fourth cup of olive oil,

and three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

Add a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of pepper,

and stir to combine.

Drizzle all of the marinade over your veggies,

then stir until evenly coated.

(lighthearted music)

And if you're feelin' dangerous,

give 'em a quick toss.

Cover the veggies, and let them marinade

at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, lightly oil your grill basket,

and here's a great tip.

If you place it on the lid of your dishwasher,

then spray, you don't have to do any extra cleanup.

Preheat your grill basket

for about 10 minutes with the grill cover on.

Transfer your marinated veggies to the hot grill basket,

and discard any excess liquid in the bowl.

Grill with the cover on for a total of 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir every three to four minutes

to ensure even cooking and caramelizing.

Once the vegetables are crisp, tender,

or your desired done-ness,

transfer them to a serving platter.

(lighthearted music)

(laughs) Oh yes.

And that was an adventure,

just as we are finishing up grilling,

there's this big ol' thunder lightning rainstorm

rollin' in, I'm like let's get inside. (laughs)

All right, we're gonna do the taste test

because oh, it smells so good,

and of course I smell like barbecue,

and I don't mind for one second.

(laughs) Okay here we go.

A little bit of everything on my fork

just the way I like it.

Oh my goodness, this is gonna be an intense taste test.

(laughs) I'm a little intimidated.

Ooh, a little bit of onion.

I actually like the onions when they're grilled

because they're sweet.

Here we go.

Mm, (laughs)

mm,

mm,

mm.

(hums)

I love when the veggies still have a little bit of that

crisp bite to them, yum.

The sweet peas and onion have that lovely crunch

to them, and then the zucchini and squash

all have this sweet and tender and juicy. (laughs)

And then my favorite is the mushrooms,

come on, where are my mushroom lovers?

(laughs) And they're so meaty,

and almost beefy off the grill.

And so delicious 'cause they soak up some of that

marinade with the balsamic glaze,

and the balsamic glaze is just so so good with vegetables.

It amplifies the flavor without overpowering them

so they're still sweet, and mm! (laughs)

This is a recipe we make over and over and over and over

and over, and I hope it becomes a new favorite for you guys.
