INCREDIBLE BBQ GRILLED VEGETABLES - MARINATED!

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside 10 minutes+.
• Keep pieces large for easy handling on the BBQ (so you don't have to turn hundreds of pieces!) and so they don't fall through the grills.
• Capsicum/bell peppers - cut the "walls" off, then cut each each on the diagonal into fairly large pieces.
• Onion (Note 4) - keep the root end (hairy end!) in tact. Peel, cut in half, then cut into wedges through the root end.
• Brush BBQ grills lightly with oil, then preheat to high. Or oven 250°C/480°F.
• Place vegetables in a very large bowl or use a big tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Toss with hands (there is no better way!).
• Place on BBQ and cook until tender crisp with charred edges - cook times below. Then remove into large bowl.
• Asparagus, zucchini - grill 2 min each side. (Oven - 10 min, no flipping)
• Capsicum, mushroom, onion - grill 3 min each side (oven 15 min, flip at 10 min)
• Eggplant - grill 4 min each side. Jab in middle to ensure soft but not soggy! (oven 18 min)
• While vegetables are still hot, drizzle over Dressing and toss.
• Set aside 10 minutes+ before serving, sprinkled with parsley. See in post for serving ideas.
