  • Yellow bell pepper: 1 large about 220g
  • Broccoli florets: 2 cups 500g
  • Carrots: 2 sliced (about 120g)
  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons 45ml
  • Salt: To taste
  • Black pepper: To taste
  • Crushed red pepper: 1 teaspoon 5g (adjust to preference)
  • Garlic cloves: 3 minced
  • Peanut Sauce:
  • Natural peanut butter: ½ cup 130g
  • Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Lime juice: 3 tablespoons 45ml
  • Brown sugar: 1 tablespoon 15g
  • Warm water: 2-3 tablespoons 30-45ml
  • Garlic: 1 clove minced

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and minced garlic until evenly coated.
  3. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes each side until they are tender and have visible grill marks.
  4. While the veggies are grilling, begin making the peanut sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Whisk them together.
  5. Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Notes

Make sure your grill or grill pan is nice and hot before adding the vegetables. This ensures those perfect grill marks and a smoky flavor.
Feel free to adjust the spiciness to your liking. If you’re not a fan of too much heat, reduce the amount of crushed red pepper.
The peanut sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Spicy Grilled Vegetables with Peanut Sauce are versatile. You can serve them on a bed of quinoa or brown rice to make it a wholesome meal. Alternatively, enjoy them as they are, paired with a refreshing iced tea on a sunny day. The nutty, savory, and slightly sweet peanut sauce adds an extra layer of depth and flavor to the dish.
