Grilled Vegetables

Nutritious Grilled Vegetables! A colorful rainbow of vegetables are grilled over hot flames until slightly charred and perfectly tender, then they’re finished with a simple herby olive oil to add a final layer of fresh flavor. What more do you need this summer?

Grilling vegetables couldn’t be easier. There’s hardly anything to it but I recommend upgrading them with seasonings, fats or herbs like we’ve done here.

The main idea is just knowing which vegetables work well for grilling, following the simple straightforward prep method, cooking the vegetables on a preheated grill, and following the cook times directed.

Crisper vegetables will take longer to grill to a tender texture, while softer vegetables will obviously cook faster.
