GRILLED VEGGIES THAT BITE BACK
I was craving grilled vegetables one day, and as usual all the recipes I found didn't quite fit the bill or what I had in my fridge. So I came up with this. In proper portions it serves 6-8 but it was so yummy I couldn't stop eating and finished it all myself. Veggies are healthy, right? ;) I think it would be nice in a quinoa or couscous salad too. This is actually quite good served cool too. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix first three ingredients well and set aside.
- Cut all the veggies into about 1 - 1 1/2 inch pieces, green beans can just be cut in half.
- Add vegetables to a large bowl and pour sauce over and mix well.
- Marinate veggies at room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes, or more, or less, or not at all if you don't have time :).
- Meanwhile, preheat BBQ to about 350°F and coat grill basket with canola oil (or olive oil or Pam cooking spray).
- Place marinated veg in grill basket and grill until golden, about 6-8 min, then flip and do other side.
- (Do not turn lots, grill should be low enough to not burn. All grills are different, better to turn it down than flip too often).
- Serve with your favourite grilled meat or grilled tofu for the vegetarians ....
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables: To ensure a satisfying bite, select vegetables that hold their shape well when grilled, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots.
- Slice vegetables evenly: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Thicker vegetables, like potatoes and carrots, should be cut into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste and adds moisture. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill: Before grilling the vegetables, preheat the grill to high heat. This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the vegetables in batches: Avoid overcrowding the grill, as this will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly. Grill the vegetables in batches, if necessary, to ensure that they have enough space to cook properly.
- Flip the vegetables frequently: To ensure even cooking, flip the vegetables frequently with a spatula. This will prevent them from burning on one side.
- Cook the vegetables until tender-crisp: The ideal texture for grilled vegetables is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy, so keep an eye on them and remove them from the grill once they are cooked to your desired doneness.
