I often joke that there\u2019s no job I haven\u2019t done. That\u2019s mostly because I have a hard time saying no. I like seeing the world outside of my box, and if that means also learning some new skills, then I\u2019m all in. Saying \u201cyes\u201d is how I learned to use the grill<\/a> instead of fearing it, and how I learned to make one of the simplest, most delicious vegetable dishes: balsamic grilled vegetables.\n<\/p>\n

Shortly after graduating from culinary school, I took a job working for a catering company. We were hired to work a variety of parties and events, but our outdoor bookings were my favorite. There was something fun about working with my feet in the grass (in shoes, of course) and the fresh air surrounding me.\n<\/p>\n

One of our most requested dishes was our grilled vegetable plate. I\u2019d prepped it on several occasions but had never cooked it until the time our prep chef didn\u2019t show up for work\u2014which left me to man the grill. I pretended like I knew what I was doing until I eventually got the hang of it and even fell in love.\n<\/p>\n

Grilling, it turned out, was pretty fun<\/a>. I grilled what felt like hundreds of pounds of vegetables that day and learned a few things along the way. Now, I\u2019m excited to share the recipe (and some tips) with you!\n<\/p>\n

Tips for Making Balsamic Grilled Vegetables <\/span> <\/h2>\n

These are all of the tips and tricks that will ensure you get the most delicious grilled vegetables:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Know your grill.<\/strong> Everyone\u2019s grill is different. Each one has spots that are cool and, conversely, excessively hot. Identify those before adding your vegetables so that you can cook them to perfection.<\/li>\n
  2. Let the grill preheat.<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing sadder than adding food to your grill and not hearing a \u201csizzle\u201d to accompany it. Give your grill at least 15 minutes to heat up before adding your vegetables.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. Vegetables cook fast.<\/strong> My cooking time below is a range and recommendation. As I mentioned, each grill is different, so if you notice your vegetables are taking faster\/longer to cook, you\u2019ll need to adjust your time accordingly.<\/li>\n
  4. Shake off excess marinade.<\/strong> Extra marinade literally adds fuel to the fire, so to prevent flare-ups, shake off any excess marinade from the vegetables before adding them to your grill.<\/li>\n
  5. Use grilling tongs.<\/strong> Those long metal tongs made for grilling will protect your arms and hands while flipping veggies.<\/li>\n
  6. Save the marinade.<\/strong> Since you\u2019re not using the marinade to season raw meat, you can save and use it for dressing the finished dish!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
