Add Fruits and Vegetables to Your Grilled Cuisine

Add Fruits and Vegetables to Your Grilled Cuisine

August 2, 2005

Tired of the same old barbeque? Add variety with fruits and vegetables. With the abundance of produce available this time of year, it’s easy to consume the recommended 2 cups of fruits and 2½ cups of vegetables a day.

Add flavor to your outdoor meal by cooking vegetables right on the grill. Baste firm vegetables like peppers, corn, eggplant or onions. Season them with herbs and place on a hot grill until they are tender and brown, usually about 10 to 15 minutes.

Or try sliced zucchini, tomatoes and carrots. Place them on heavy-duty foil and sprinkle with water and seasoning. Wrap the foil and grill six to eight minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Include fruit in your meal by grilling kabobs on low heat until the fruit is hot and slightly golden.
