Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 3 bell peppers mixed colors
- 1 large red onion
- 1 lb asparagus bunch
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 cups hummus store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- for serving pita or crusty bread
Instructions
- 1Prep the dips first so flavors meld while you grill: stir Greek yogurt with tahini, juice of one lemon, minced garlic, salt, and smoked paprika until silky; chill. Set out hummus in a wide bowl swirled with olive oil and a dusting of paprika.
- 2Trim ends from zucchini and yellow squash and slice into long planks about 1/2-inch thick. Core the bell peppers and cut into wide strips. Cut the red onion into thick rounds, keeping rings intact. Snap tough ends from asparagus.
- 3Toss all cut vegetables and the cherry tomatoes gently with olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and any remaining minced garlic so everything is lightly coated but not dripping.
- 4Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 400°F. Clean and oil the grates. Arrange denser vegetables first—peppers, onion rounds, and squash planks—over direct heat.
- 5Grill vegetables in batches without crowding, turning when deep grill marks appear: squash and peppers about 3–4 minutes per side, onion rounds 4–5 minutes per side until softened and charred at edges, asparagus 2–3 minutes total until bright and tender-crisp.
- 6Add cherry tomatoes on a grill basket or skewers for the last few minutes until skins blister. Transfer everything to a sheet pan as it finishes so you can arrange the platter while still warm.
- 7On a large board or platter, pile the grilled vegetables in loose, colorful groups. Scatter crumbled feta and chopped parsley over the top and squeeze the remaining lemon over everything.
- 8Nestle the yogurt-tahini dip and hummus bowls on the platter with warm pita or torn bread. Serve as a generous vegetarian main or the centerpiece side that lets guests graze while the rest of the BBQ finishes—most components hold well at room temperature.
