Step 1
Cut ends off the zucchini, then cut in half lengthwise and cut into slices not quite 2 inches thick.
Step 2
Peel onion, cut off ends, cut in half, then break apart into individual layers and cut each one into same-size pieces.
Step 3
Cut red bell pepper in half, cut out seeds and stem, and cut into pieces the same size as the onion and zucchini.
Step 4
Put the vegetables into Ziploc bag or plastic container with tight-fitting lid, choosing the smallest size you can to fit all the vegetables so they get well coated with the marinade.
Step 5
Pour in enough dressing to coat the vegetables, about 1/2 cup. Add dried herbs if desired, then close the bag or container and marinate in the fridge for 4-6 hours (or all day is fine if you’re at work.)
Step 6
When you’re ready to cook vegetables, put the grill pan on the grill grate and preheat grill (and pan) to medium-high heat. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.)
Step 7
Drain vegetables into a colander placed in the sink and let dressing drain off while you preheat the grill. (This is very important to prevent flare-ups when you add the vegetables to the grill pan.)
Step 8
When grill and pan are hot, pour in the vegetables and spread them around so as many as possible are touching the surface of the pan.
Step 9
Cook with grill lid closed, stirring the vegetables every 5 minutes or so to insure that they get lightly browned on all sides.
Step 10
Cook about 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp and starting to char on the edges. (I don’t mind if mine get a bit charred, but keep an eye on them if you’d like them less browned.)
Step 11
Serve hot, with salt and fresh ground pepper to season.
