Grilling Vegetables

Looking for grilling vegetable tips? Here’s an easy one: Pick a vegetable combo that not only tastes great together, but cooks at a similar rate. For example, cut zucchini, squash, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms into equal-size pieces and they will all be done at the same time.  
Barbecued vegetables are easy to prepare with a few simple tips. When cooking tougher vegetables such as potatoes, boil or steam them for about 10 minutes to partially cook them. This will make them cook quicker on the grill, so the outside of the potato won’t burn by the time the inside is done.

When cooking on a grill, there are a few different ways to prepare veggies. As long as the pieces aren’t small enough to fall through, you can place them directly on the grill grate. Alternately, you can thread vegetables on skewers so they are easy to turn. Finally, you can purchase a grill wok or basket to hold veggies while cooking.
