Grill Maestro

I saw this first at my friend’s place in New York where he splashed some light olive oil on some vegetables and threw them on the grill. Some popular choices for grilled vegetables include squash, zucchini, asparagus, potatoes and tomatoes but you can use anything you personally enjoy eating.

Most grill grates will be too wide to property grill up your veggies so you’ll want to get yourself some sort of secondary grilling basket that you can put onto the grate itself. As long as the grate’s bars are close enough that your precious vegetables don’t fall in, you’re in good shape.

The olive oil is critical in this step because it protects the vegetables from drying out and burning while imparting a nice flavor on the vegetables. It also helps in capturing some of the dry spices you might use on your vegetables.

Personally, I like to dip them in some Italian dressing because I love that vinegary flavor and then splash on some paprika or red peppers to give it a little extra kick!
