Season for extra flavour
To add flavour and texture to fresh produce, sprinkle them with your favourite herbs and spices. If you prefer the classic, smoky taste, use coarse salt such as kosher salt or sea salt. This will help remove extra moisture from the veggies while on the grill which will then enhance their freshness, flavour and sweetness.
Know when they are cooked
The harder the vegetable, the longer they will cook on the grill. The soft variety only needs to be heated through to become tender. In general, you’ll know that the veggie is ready when they are tender (when pierced using a fork) and have good browned grill marks. Experts say that medium heat works best for fresh produce.
If you want to add more nutrition and color to your barbecue menu, fresh vegetables are the way to go. They’re fairly easy to prepare and don’t take too long to cook on the grill. Just follow these helpful tips when grilling fresh vegetables and you’ll do great!
