Ingredients
1½ teaspoons dried basil leaves
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
6 cups assorted fresh vegetables, cut into grill-friendly pieces (such as asparagus spears, bell pepper chunks, zucchini rounds, yellow squash rounds, red onion wedges, and small sweet potato cubes)
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the dried basil, garlic powder, light brown sugar, and salt to create the seasoning blend. Set aside.
In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the cut vegetables and toss gently until all pieces are well coated with oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled vegetables and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the herb and spice blend.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a grill basket, grill rack, or thread them onto metal skewers for even cooking.
Place on the grill over medium heat and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning the vegetables occasionally with tongs or by shaking the basket to ensure even browning and tenderness throughout.
Comments
This is a Charlotte-friendly weeknight win. Every ingredient lives on the shelf at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI—dried basil, garlic powder, brown sugar, olive oil, salt are all staples, and mixed vegetables (whether fresh, frozen, or from the produce section) cost under $3 for the lot. The 22 minutes is honest: five minutes to prep, ten to heat the grill or skillet, seven to cook through. It reheats well cold the next day or warmed in a pan. The only caveat is that "mixed vegetables" is vague—zucchini, bell peppers, and summer squash grill beautifully and are cheap year-round in North Carolina, but if you grab pre-cut or premium vegetables, cost climbs.
