Steps

  1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, honey (if using), and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, red onion, and mushrooms to the bowl and toss until all vegetables are well-coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the vegetables from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
  6. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.

  8. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
