BBQ Grilled Vegetables / The best dressed vegetables in town,
Some vegetables, potatoes and carrots, take longer to cook, so give them a head start by boiling a few minutes before grilling.
Once veggies are prepped and ready to go, aim for a nice, even char
to get a delicious smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with natural sweetness of the veggies.
Drizzling cooked veggies w/ dressing takes them to a new level. A little
bit of ol/oil and balsamic, or get creative w/ homemade pesto or aioli.
