Grilled Vegetables with Eight-Spice Seasoning

Seasoning mixture:
3 Tblsp salt
3 Tblsp packed golden brown sugar
2 Tblsp paprika
1 1/2 Tblsp chili powder
1 Tblsp ground black pepper
2 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp dried basil

Cut assorted fresh vegetables into large chucks. Use zucchini, yellow squash, different colored bell peppers, onion, large mushrooms, and anything else that sounds good to you. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with seasoning. Grill in a grill pan, on a skewer, or saute in a large skillet. Cook until vegetables are the desired tenderness.

Hints: You won't need all of the seasoning for one meal unless you are making a huge serving for a very large group. You can save it in a jar and use it again later. Also, keep in mind that the squash will cook faster than the peppers and onions, so adjust the size of the chunks accordingly. Enjoy!

I got this recipe from another McGee Girl - Aunt Jeaneen!
