Grilled Vegetable Medley

Finding news ways to keep vegetables exciting is important to me. There’s really only so many ways to cook them…boiled, roasted, sautéed, steamed, and grilled. I’m a fan of grilled veggies, I just don’t do it that often because the carcinogens cooking into the food from the char isn’t exactly super healthy for your body, and neither is the smoke you're inhaling from the grill. That being said, the flavor from grilling is delicious! Go figure. Here’s a recipe for a quick vegetable medley that went along so well with my Grilled Tangy Burgers.
