Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Select vegetables that cook evenly and have a similar cooking time, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
- Prep the vegetables: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. You can also marinate the vegetables in olive oil, herbs, and spices for extra flavor.
- Use a nonstick grill pan or aluminum foil: This will prevent the vegetables from sticking to the grill and make cleanup easier.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Grilled vegetables are best served hot off the grill. You can drizzle them with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Grilled chicken and vegetable packs are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy a summer meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
