Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding vegetables. This helps achieve those perfect grill marks.
Slice vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly and at the same rate. Avoid overly thick or thin pieces.
Coat your veggies lightly with olive oil. It prevents sticking, adds flavor, and helps them caramelize on the grill.
For smaller or delicate vegetables like mushrooms, use a grill basket to keep them from falling through the grates.
Leave space between vegetables on the grill. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of grilling, which affects texture and flavor.
Create different heat zones on your grill. Use direct heat for vegetables that cook quickly, and indirect heat for those that need longer cooking times.
Grill vegetables until they’re tender but still have a little crunch. Overcooking can cause them to become soggy and lose flavor.
