Tips

  • Use a grill basket for smaller items like onions and cherry tomatoes to prevent them from falling through.
  • Spread vegetables in a single layer on the grill to avoid steaming.
  • Add fresh herbs after grilling to maintain their freshness.
  • Crumbled feta, grated parmesan, or balsamic glaze make excellent finishing additions.
  • If you prefer softer vegetables, grill them for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  • For a vegan version, omit honey or use maple syrup and avoid dairy toppings.
