The Art of Grilling

Vegetable Preparation

Vegetable preparation is an important aspect of grilling

Vegetable preparation is an important aspect of grilling, as it can affect the flavor, texture, and overall quality of the vegetables. Before grilling, it's important to choose the right vegetables and prepare them properly.

Choosing the Right Vegetables

To begin, select vegetables that will hold up well on the grill, such as:

  • bell peppers
  • onions
  • zucchini
  • eggplant
  • mushrooms

Leafy greens and delicate vegetables, such as asparagus and green beans, can also be grilled, but require more delicate handling.

Preparing the Vegetables

Once you've selected your vegetables, it's important to:

  • wash them thoroughly
  • remove any stems or leaves
  • cut them into slices, wedges, or chunks depending on your preference, but ensure that all pieces are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking

To add flavor, vegetables can be:

  • marinated in a mixture of oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices for several hours before grilling
  • brushed with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper just before grilling

Grilling the Vegetables

When grilling vegetables, it's important to:

  • use a clean, well-oiled grill to prevent sticking
  • grill vegetables over direct heat for several minutes on each side, or place them in a grilling basket or on a sheet of foil and cook indirectly for a longer period of time

Once the vegetables are tender and lightly charred, they can be removed from the grill and served immediately.
