Ingredients:

1 onion
110g
1/2 cup olive oil
110g
1.50 tbsp fresh thyme
3.60g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
6 cups sweet potatos
780g
1 red pepper
77g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Core the red bell pepper and cut it into strips.
2. Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh thyme, and vinegar. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Marinade Vegetables:
- Add the sliced onions, sweet potato slices, and red bell pepper strips to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the vegetables until they are well coated with the mixture. Allow them to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors. For best results, you can marinate them for up to 1 hour.
4. Preheat Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-204°C).
5. Grill Vegetables:
- Once the grill is hot, place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill grates. If you prefer, you can use a grill basket to keep the vegetables from falling through the grates.
- Grill the sweet potatoes, onions, and bell peppers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and have beautiful grill marks.
6. Serve:
- Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. You can garnish with a bit more fresh thyme if desired.
- Serve the grilled medley warm as a side dish or as a part of your main course.

Tips:

- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly on the grill.

- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.

- Use a grill basket to prevent smaller pieces from falling through the grill grates.

- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the vegetables in the olive oil, thyme, and vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

- Keep an eye on the vegetables while grilling to prevent them from charring too much. Turn them frequently to achieve an even grill.

- Feel free to add other vegetables to the medley, such as zucchini or mushrooms, to add more variety to the dish.

With its beautiful colors and delightful mix of flavors, this Grilled Sweet Potato, Onion, and Bell Pepper Medley is sure to become a household favorite. It's easy to make, nutritious, and perfect for any occasion.
