How to grill vegetables

The first step is to wash the vegetables well to remove traces of sand and avoid any other harmful products they may contain.
We cut the eggplants, onions and zucchini into slices.
We can cut the sweet potato and carrots into strips.
Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds from the inside of the red and green peppers. They can also be roasted whole without cutting them.
We cut the mushrooms in half and we can cut the pumpkin into cubes or strips.
We can leave the asparagus whole.
We put a splash of oil on the grill and let it heat up. We can also use a griddle, grill or frying pan for roasting vegetables. Another option is to grill vegetables in the oven.
Once the grill is hot, add the carrots, eggplant, onion and asparagus since these vegetables are the ones that take the longest to grill. When we see that they begin to cook, we add the zucchini, peppers, sweet potato, pumpkin and mushrooms.
It is important to monitor the condition of the vegetables and turn them when necessary so that they do not overcook.
Once they are roasted, we remove them and add salt to taste. We can also add aromatic herbs or other types of spices such as curry.
Serve and enjoy this exquisite and healthy dish of grilled vegetables!

While we mix we can add a little salt and a splash of oil. We continue to mix well.
We now have a great vinaigrette for our grilled vegetables!

Keys to preparing the best grilled vegetables

One of the main advantages of cooking vegetables on the grill is that it is a very easy way to prepare delicious recipes without having to be an expert in the kitchen. There are other types of cooking techniques, such as steam cooking, which requires more knowledge since the flavors are not masked and therefore you have to know how to enhance the flavor of the vegetables to obtain a good result.

Another important point is that this type of cooking on the grill achieves very good results without much knowledge and therefore people who are not used to eating vegetables can start including them in their recipes. To this we can also add that it is not necessary to use oil, which can be very beneficial since when the oil is heated, its internal structure undergoes changes in the chemical bonds that cause the appearance of unsaturated fats, which are not considered very good for a healthy diet.
