If you're looking for an easy recipe for grilled veggies then you've found the right place!  You can make these as a side dish or by themselves.  These recipes are super simple and the veggies cook up in about 15 minutes!  In this blog you will find two different recipes.  One recipe is for the grilled veggies and the other is for the marinated & grilled mushrooms

Grilled Veggies Ingredients:

Zucchini, sliced 1/2" thick
Summer Squash, sliced 1/2" thick
Salt & Pepper to taste (season salt would be great with this)
Olive Oil

Skewers (I used wooden skewers and soaked them in water for 20 minutes before assembling)

How To:

Prepare the grill and soak the skewers if using the wooden kind per package instructions (*TIP*  If cooking both recipes start with the mushrooms first).  Assemble the vegetables on the skewers as shown in this picture. I found it easiest to put the skewer through the vegetable slice when the slice was laying flat.  I lined it up it the middle and made sure to push it in straight.  My husband preferred to do the opposite and stand the skewer up and the thread the veggie slices on that way.  Try both ways and see what works best for you!  Place the assembled skewers on a jelly roll pan or a 13"X 9" pan and drizzle evenly with olive oil.  Salt & pepper to taste (I recommend using season salt).  Place on grill over medium-high heat and grill about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the slices are tender and slightly translucent in the center.

Marinated & Grilled Mushrooms Ingredients

16 oz. package of whole mushrooms (button or baby bella)
Hoisin Sauce
Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
Rice Vinegar
Garlic Powder

How To:

Wash the mushrooms and slice in half.  Place in a Ziploc bag.  I used the "dump method" on this recipe.  I added 2 large spoonfuls of hoisin sauce (about 2 tablespoons) to the mushrooms in the Ziploc bag.  Next, I shook in enough soy sauce to make a mixture with the hoisin sauce to coat the mushrooms (about 4-5 tablespoons).  Then, I added in the rice vinegar (about 1 tablespoon) and I sprinkled in some garlic powder (about 1 teaspoon).  Next, close the Ziploc bag and shake it up making sure to mix all ingredients and coat the mushrooms.  Place the bag of mushrooms in the fridge and allow to marinate for 30 minutes.  Prepare the grill and soak the skewers if you are using wooden skewers while the mushrooms are marinating.    

Assemble the mushrooms on pre-soaked skewers through the stem to the top of the mushroom half.  Place on the grill over medium-high heat and grill for 5-6 minutes on each side or until tender.

*You can also make these spicy by adding in some hot pepper flakes or sriracha sauce!
