This was very good and super easy. The vegetables were very bland. I had to salt and pepper my meal. Next time I will season the vegetables before grilling.

Recipe was quick and easy. I used store bought pesto which was not very good. I am going to try this agian with fresh home made basil. Hopfully homemade pesto will add more flavor. I also added mushrooms and green/red bell peppers.
