Grilled vegetables offer a balance of smoky char and natural sweetness, enhanced by herbs and spices.
The dominant flavor profile is a combination of the inherent sweetness of the vegetables (like bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant) that is intensified by the caramelization that occurs during grilling. A smoky char adds complexity and depth. Common seasonings include olive oil, garlic, herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for brightness.

Cut Vegetables Evenly
Ensure vegetables are cut into similar sizes to promote even cooking. Thicker vegetables like bell peppers and onions may require a longer cooking time than thinner ones like asparagus.
Pre-Heat the Grill
Pre-heating the grill to medium-high heat is crucial for creating char marks and preventing the vegetables from sticking. Clean the grill grates thoroughly before grilling.
Oil and Season Generously
Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings before grilling. This helps prevent sticking and enhances the flavor.
Don't Overcrowd the Grill
Grill vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the grill temperature and result in steamed rather than grilled vegetables.
Use a Grill Basket or Skewers
For smaller vegetables like cherry tomatoes or sliced mushrooms, use a grill basket or skewers to prevent them from falling through the grates.
