• 1 bunch asparagus, stem ends trimmed
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced inch 1/2 inch coins
• 2 medium Japanese eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch coins

Directions:

Place grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush vegetables with oil to coat lightly and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Working in batches, grill vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8-10 minutes for the sweet peppers and squash; 7 minutes for zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. To get attractive grill marks do not shift vegetables once they’ve been placed on the hot grill.

Arrange vegetables on serving platter. Serve vegetables with the dressing on the side.

For easier serving of large groups, vegetables can be divided among 3-4 smaller platters.
