Ingredients

1 zucchini ($1.02)

1 red onion ($0.99)

8 mushrooms ($1.04 *)

1 yellow squash ($1.10)

8 mini bell peppers (or 2 large bell peppers cut into ¼s, $1.44)

6-8 cherry tomatoes (whole on vine, $1.66**)

1 ½ Tbsp olive oil ($0.33)

1 garlic clove (minced, $0.04)

1 tsp steak seasoning (divided, $0.12)

½ tsp sugar ($0.01 ***)

chimichurri sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1 Prepare the veggies

2 Slice zucchini lengthwise, about ¼ inch 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 inch thick. Rinse bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.

3 Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, ½ tsp steak seasoning, and sugar in a bowl.

4 Brush olive oil mixture over the veggies.

5 Grill the vegetables

6 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.

7 Flip the vegetables

8 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!)

9 Sprinkle on the remaining ½ tsp steak seasoning and (optional) serve with our chimichurri.
