Let the eggplant sit and prep the remaining veggies. Husk the corn and set aside, cut the zucchini and summer squash into halves, lengthwise. Cut off the top of the red onion, leaving the root attached. Cut the onion into quarters, leaving some root on each section to keep it secured when grilling.

Next, brush the vegetables with your choice of infused oil. Once all have been brushed, begin grilling. Char each side by rotating each piece.
