Step 1

Wash and cut ends off vegetables. Cut the eggplant and red onion into 6 slices. Cut the zucchini and squash into 1/2-inch thick slices on the bias (diagonally). Cut the red pepper in half and remove innards. Cut in half once again.

Step 2

Place all ingredients of marinade into blender or place them into a container and use emulsion blender until all ingredients are blended until smooth.

Step 3

Combine the vegetables and marinade in a deep bowl or large plastic bag. Allow to sit for at least 1 to 2 hours.

Step 4

When ready to grill, remove vegetables from marinade with tongs and place vegetables directly on grill. Discard excess marinade.

Step 5

Place the red peppers, skins down, on the grill first since they will need the longest cooking time (about 6 minutes on each side, or until the skin is slightly charred.)

Step 6

Grill the additional vegetables 4 to 5 minutes, until browned and soft, remove from grill and set aside.

Step 7

Using a small tin begin to create your tower of vegetables.

Step 8

Begin with the largest vegetable at the bottom. That will most likely be the eggplant, then the onion, red pepper, zucchini, and then the squash. Place a piece of basil in between any of the vegetables.

Step 9

Top the tower with the slice of mozzarella cheese, place back on grill and cover grill so the cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with basil if desired.
