Grilled Vegetables

** This is a recipe that isn't really a recipe.  Use what veggies and fresh herbs you have or want, the key is the grill basket.  I got mine at Target for $10.  Great investment...

1 red bell pepper - cut in 1 inch chunks
1 green bell pepper - cut in 1 inch chunks
1 onion - quartered (its ok if the layers fall apart)
2 zucchini - cut in 1/2 inch chunks
1 package whole mushrooms - halved or quartered (key is to make everything roughly the same size)
1 pint grape tomatoes - whole (key to knowing when its all done!)
Several Sprigs fresh thyme - remove leaves from stalks
1 sprig fresh rosemary - leaves removed and chopped (rosemary is strong, if you love it, add more!)
olive oil

1.  Put all veggies and herbs in a large Ziploc bag and shake to mix.
2.  Add a drizzle of olive oil until fairly well coated, probably less than a tablespoon.
3.  Put veggies in grill basket and grill over medium high heat with lid closed if possible.  My grill is small and the lid doesn't close all the way, but it still works.  I check these every 5 minutes or so and move them around with a spatula.  The veggies are done with the grape tomatoes start to break their skin.

** Serve over grilled chicken or fish or as a side or just because you feel like veggies.
