Ingredients

  • Zucchini 1 medium (about 200g)
  • Red bell pepper 1 (about 150g)
  • Yellow bell pepper 1 (about 150g)
  • Broccoli 1 small head (about 250g)
  • Soy sauce 3 tablespoons (45ml)
  • Olive oil 3 tablespoons (45ml)
  • Garlic cloves 3 (minced)
  • Red chili flakes 1 teaspoon (5ml)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preparation: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice zucchini into half-inch rounds. Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into large, grill-friendly pieces. Separate broccoli into small florets.
  • Marination: In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until everything is integrated. Toss in the vegetables, ensuring they’re well-coated with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Grill Setup: Preheat your grill on medium heat. Ensure the grates are clean and slightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Grilling Time: Place the vegetables on the grill. Cook the bell peppers for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they have those beautiful char marks. Zucchini might take around 4 minutes on each side. Broccoli florets usually grill faster, roughly 3 minutes per side. Remember to brush the vegetables with any leftover marinade occasionally.
  • Serve Hot: Once grilled to perfection, transfer the Spicy Grilled Vegetables with Soy Sauce to a plate.

Notes

TIPS
  1. Alternative Marination: Feel free to experiment with the marinade by adding a touch of honey or brown sugar for a sweet contrast to the spicy and salty flavors.
  2. Grill Basket: Using a grill basket can help manage smaller vegetable pieces that might fall through the grill grates.
  3. Marination Time: For deeper flavors, consider marinating the vegetables in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
  4. Chili Variation: If you’re a fan of extra heat, consider adding fresh sliced chilies to your marinade.

  • The Spicy Grilled Vegetables with Soy Sauce can be a stellar side to grilled chicken or fish.
