Instructions

1. Start by preparing the balsamic reduction. In a saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer over medium-low heat until it’s reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Once thickened, set aside to cool.

3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Lay the vegetables evenly on the grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they have nice char marks and are tender.
