How to Grill Vegetables

Grilled veggies are healthy, delicious, and so simple for summer. Today I'm gonna show you how to grill a variety of them. All you really need is fresh produce and simple seasonings like olive oil, salt and pepper. Start by thoroughly washing and prepping your vegetables. Today we're using zucchini, asparagus and portobello mushrooms, but you can use whatever you like. Start by trimming the ends of your zucchini, and then cut it in half lengthwise, and then slice it into half moons. When I prep asparagus, I like to snap the ends off of one and cut them all together so they're all the same length. Portobello mushrooms tend to be dirty but they're also very delicate. So you want to make sure to clean them very gently but very well. Turn your grill onto medium high and let it pre-heat for at least ten minutes. If you're using a grill wok, you want to pre-heat that as well. I love a grill wok because I don't have to worry about the zucchini falling through the grate. I'm gonna start with the largest vegetables and put them in the bag first, then, the portobello mushroom caps and finally, the zucchini. Then I'm just going to drizzle in a little bit of olive oil. Just enough to coat all the vegetables. Salt for seasoning. A generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. I'm just going to seal it up and give it a toss. Be careful with those portobellos so you don't break them. Great. This grill is nice and hot. I'm gonna start with the portobello mushrooms first because they're the thickest and they'll take the longest to cook. Put the cap side down so that you get those pretty grill marks. Lay down your asparagus perpendicular to the grates so they don't fall through. I'll pull out my grill wok for the sliced half moons of zucchini. At this point be sure to close your grill so you trap in all of that wonderful smoky flavor. So, I think they're ready. Honestly, you can smell that it's done. The mushrooms havetheir moisture. So that's how you know that they're actually ready to go. Grab the asparagus all together and just give it a transfer there. Transfer all my zucchini, then you're gonna shut the grill and turn it off. Don't forget to turn off your propane. Now for my favorite part. That's perfectly tender, well-seasoned and just has a trace of smokiness, which is exactly how I liked it. Hope these tips help you out this early season.
