Also try, sliced butternut pumpkin, quartered zuchini , Capsicum
(bellpeppers..reds are nice and sweet) carrots are nice on the grill but
don't burn them as they taste bitter,might be best to par boil or steam them
a little first to soften. Chinese Bok Choy (kinda looks like a leek) tastes
really nice from the grill. Eggplant is another fave of mine, get the big
fat bulb shaped ones, slice them about half inch thick rounds, spray or
brush with olive oil, and lightly grill both sides, spread some salsa on the
top and some grated cheese, close lid for a few minutes to melt cheese, take
off and serve.....yummy!!
