Preheat Cuisinart® Griddler® Grill Centro, fitted with the grill plate, to Medium. While grill is heating, place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Toss with garlic, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Once preheated (about 10 minutes), put vegetables onto grill in a single layer. Grill vegetables until tender, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side. Vegetables should be cooked in at least 2 batches. Once all vegetables are grilled, put back in mixing bowl and toss with remaining teaspoon of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, basil, and lemon juice or vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.
