Seasoned Grilled Veggies

Grilled vegetables are, no doubt, the ideal complement to a juicy, grilled meat. And with so many options, there's going to be something special for everyone. But it is also true that sometimes it's hard to grill vegetables to perfection: cooking times vary in each case and it's also fundamental to choose the right dressing to brush them. That's why we've prepared these simple instructions, as well as a very handy table, so that grilling them becomes a real party.

1. The Grill:
   • Always start with a clean and lightly oiled grill.
   • Preheat grill to medium high. If using a charcoal grill, you should be able to hold your hand over the heat for 5 seconds. If using a gas grill, set the burner dials to medium high and preheat the grill until the temperature gauge reaches approximately 400°F.
2. The Ingredients:
   • Cut and trim vegetables according to the chart.
   • Kraft Dressings are a great way to add flavour to vegetables. The Kraft oil-based dressings work well when brushed on vegetables during cooking. The Kraft creamy-based dressings are best drizzled on vegetables after they are removed from the grill. See chart for dressing suggestions.
3. The Grilling:
   • Stay close to the grill because cooking can vary slightly.
   • Make sure that the vegetables are cut into pieces that will not fall through the grates of the grill.
   • Small pieces of vegetables should be skewered.
   • Most vegetables do not have to be peeled; the skin helps the vegetable hold its shape during cooking.
