Grilled Peppers and Onions

Grilled peppers and onions are simple, versatile, and delicious. They develop nice char, cooking enhances their sweetness, and in this recipe, the pair is joined by eggplant, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Fire up the grill for your entrée and cook these on the side to complete the meal, or finish with a quick vinaigrette for grilled pepper and onion salad.
