Lightly oil the grill rack and preheat the grill. Place the vegetables on the hot grill rack and grill for about 5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until tender.

Tips
You will have extra Garlic-Olive Tapanade. This topping is great for grilled steaks, fish, chicken or lamb. You can also mix this into mayonnaise to create a quick aioli to spread on gluten-free crostini, or to mix into a chicken or tuna salad.
