Grilled vegetables make a great side dish and help keep you from running back to the kitchen.

Difficulty Level: Easy    Time Required: 10 minutes

1. Trim and wash vegetables.
2. Cut vegetables in half or into thick slices. Each piece should be about 1/2 inch thick for hard vegetables.

4. Preheat grill to a medium heat.
5. Place small vegetables on skewers or use a grilling basket. Larger pieces can be place right on the grate.
6. Turn vegetables frequently and brush with additional marinade or oil to prevent drying.
7. Remove vegetables when the skin begins to blister and the middle becomes soft.
8. Different vegetables will take different amounts of time to cook. Plan on grilling for 5 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

1. A vegetable marinade should be mostly oil with lemon or lime juice and your desired seasonings.
