Hi everyone! I don’t want to jinx it, but it seems like Spring might finally be upon us! The warm weather rekindled our itch to get outside and grill, and so that’s what this post is all about! My dad got a new grill with a rotisserie for his birthday, so we had rotisserie chicken, and spice-grilled vegetables that were my responsibility. Here are the spices and other ingredients you’ll need for the veggies:

• Garlic powder
• Chili powder
• Ground mustard
• Fresh lemon juice
• Salt
• Black pepper

The veggies I used were zucchini, summer squash, asparagus, and green peppers. I cut the zucchini and squash into spears, the green pepper into wedges, and just cut the woody ends off of the asparagus. Arrange them on a baking sheet or a grilling pan.

Squeeze lemons over the vegetables until they’re thoroughly coated to your liking.

Now, sprinkle the spices over the vegetables in whatever quantities you choose! I used a few tablespoons of chili powder and garlic powder, and a very small amount (maybe a teaspoon) of the ground mustard. Then, sprinkle salt and pepper generously over all the vegetables.

Put the pan in the grill at 350ºF, for about 10 minutes. You can turn the vegetables on the pan to get them browned all over, or you can just leave them. We tossed them at the very end, because we just wanted to get them softened and a bit browned.

And now, just to show you how well the rotisserie worked, here’s a picture of the yummy chicken!

Perfect, right? This was such a great spring meal- we ate like kings and the food was so light and fresh! This may be a simple recipe, but those vegetables were so delicious, and the spices brought out the natural flavor of the veggies. Seriously, you should try it! Happy grilling!
