How to Prep your Vegetables for the Grill:

Cut the vegetables.
Season the vegetables well. Let them soak in the seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling. I used simply organic grilling seasons vegetable blend and pink sea salt.
Preheat the barbecue on medium-high heat and clean the grill grate.
Oil a rag and make sure the grates are well ‘seasoned’. Applying oil to the grill will ensure the vegetables won’t stick.
Beets take the longest- and are best when rubbed with a light drizzle of oil and pinch of salt- and wrapped tightly in a piece of foil so they steam. Place wrapped beets on the grill. Use a steak knife to ensure they are tender after 40-50 minutes.
Brush a very light coat of oil on the remaining vegetables just before placing on the grill. Too much oil will cause them to get soggy
Place the veggies on hot grill and do not futz with them for approximately 2 minutes to ensure grill marks. Turn once. Adjust the burner temperature as needed.

Pro Tip: Always account for carryover cooking! Remove them from heat before you think they are done.
