THIS balsamic grilled vegetables recipe is honestly the BEST side dish recipe ever. For real, they’re super delicious and perfect for summer. These balsamic veggies can be cooked via stovetop, grill or oven.

They disappeared from the table the first time I made them.

There was a family argument over who got to have the last (seconds or thirds at this point) serving the second time I made them.

Someone came over to my house and noticed the vegetables marinating on the counter who had had them before and said they were changing their plans and were coming back for dinner the third time I made them.

Then I made them for a group of local food bloggers, and they got the stamp of approval.

So at this point, I knew I had to share the recipe. If you’re ever looking for the perfect vegetable side dish for any meal, these balsamic grilled vegetables are the way to go.

The key to making them is to let the vegetables marinate. An hour is fine, but this is one of those amazing dishes that can be prepped ahead, so I always make them the night before and put them in the refrigerator overnight, it really amps up the flavor.

Then when it’s time to grill, you’re all ready to go. These can also be baked in the oven!

I use a grill basket/pan for these balsamic grilled vegetables. I cannot rave enough about this grill basket – it is one kitchen utensil/item that I cannot rave enough about. I use it practically twice a week, the entire summer. Totally worth the purchase!

We got a new gas grill when we moved in to our new house, and we use it ALL the time now. I have also made these vegetables with a charcoal grill, they work great over whatever type of grill you have! We always make them as a side for burgers seasoned with the best burger seasoning.

Ingredients

8 oz. mushrooms halved
2 bell peppers I use 1 red and 1 green, cut into 1 inch squares
1 zucchini halved and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1/2 red onion cut into large pieces
3 garlic cloves finely chopped or pressed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Cut and chop the vegetables and put them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, fresh herbs and salt, and stir until combined. Pour over vegetables and stir to coat vegetables.
