  • 2 zucchinis
  • 1 large red onion
  • 1 bunch carrots (about 8 oz/250 g), peeled

  5. Place vegetables on greased grill over medium-high heat.
  6. Close lid and cook: 3 minutes for asparagus; 6 minutes for zucchini, peppers and onion; and 7 minutes for carrots, rotating one-quarter turn halfway through to make crosshatched grill marks.
  7. Turn over; repeat rotating and cooking until tender-crisp.
  8. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring vinegar and maple syrup to boil; boil until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  9. Brush one-quarter of the glaze over vegetables; turn over and brush again.
