How To Grill Vegetables
There are a lot of articles on how to grill vegetables, but the fastest and easiest is to simply layer your fresh veggies in a pocket of aluminum foil with your favorite seasonings and a few ice cubes and set them on the grill for 5-8 minutes (flipping at last once). Butter works too, but will make the vegetables crunchy, while ice gives them a more steamed taste and texture. Enjoy some simple bbq recipes here.
