Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

For the vegetables:

  • 1 large Zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 3-4 bell peppers, sedded and sliced into large pieces
  • 4 portobello mushrooms, wiped clean and halved

For the smoky aioli:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or grated

Instructions

  • Add ingredients for the marinade to a large bowl. Add prepared vegetables and toss to completely coat. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. You can refrigerate up to 4 hours in advance if needed.
  • When ready, preheat your grill to about 400ยบ.
  • Add vegetables to the grill, allowing to char on each side, turning them every so often. Most vegetables should take just 5 minutes to grill. If you prefer more bite, remove them from the heat a little earlier.

For the smoky aioli:

  • As the vegetables grill, prepare the smoky aioli. Combine the mayonnaise with the smoked paprika and garlic. Stir completely to combine.
  • You can choose to refrigerate the vegetables after they've slightly cooled if you won't be serving them for some time. Otherwise, serve them at room temperature with the smoky aioli!
