Grilled Vegetable Platter

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Dash salt

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

3 small carrots, cut in half lengthwise

1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch strips

1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into ½-inch slices

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. Place 3 tablespoons marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Add vegetables; seal bag and turn to coat. Marinate 1½ hours at room temperature.

Transfer vegetables to a grilling grid; place grid on grill rack. Grill vegetables, covered, over medium heat 8-12 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally.

If you do not have a grilling grid, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow liquid to drain.
