5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Place the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high or about 400°. Add denser vegetables like carrots to grill first. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the rest of the vegetables.

Cook vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until browned and tender. Place vegetables on a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
