Recipe Tips
- Grilling Vegetables – If you do not have a grill basket, mat or cast iron skillet, cut the vegetables large enough to place directly on the grill grates. This will keep them falling through the grill grates and give them a nice char.
- Preparing Vegetables – We recommend preparing vegetables so they are cut about the same size. This helps for them to cook evenly and about the same time.
