Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have a grill basket, use a sheet of heavy-duty foil and poke a few holes in the foil with a fork.
  • tip 2
    When grilling a variety of vegetables at once, be prepared to take each off the grill at different times.
  • tip 3
    Olive oil can be substituted for the butter. Or omit the butter and spray the vegetables with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the seasonings.
  • tip 4
    Pine nuts can be substituted for the walnuts.
