Grilled Vegetable Cooking Times:

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.
