A colorful and healthy dish featuring perfectly charred veggies paired with creamy hummus, ideal for gatherings or solo indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, smoked paprika, or a drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into ½-inch rounds, the bell peppers into strips, and the onion into wedges. Trim the asparagus ends.
  2. Arrange the vegetables on a large tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to ensure they’re evenly coated.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the vegetables directly onto the grill. Cook the zucchini and squash for about 2-3 minutes per side, the bell peppers for 4-5 minutes per side, onions for 5-6 minutes, and asparagus for 2-3 minutes. Turn frequently using tongs to get even char marks.
  5. If using store-bought hummus, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle smoked paprika or fresh parsley for extra flair.
  6. Arrange the grilled veggies on a large platter around the bowl of hummus. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the veggies for a zesty finish.
  7. Serve immediately while the veggies are warm and the hummus is creamy.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking and nice char marks.’, ‘Keep an eye on the asparagus as it cooks quickly.’, ‘Season generously with salt and pepper for maximum flavor.’, ‘Use fresh lemon juice for brightness and balance.’, ‘Serve immediately for the best taste.’]
