TIPS FOR MASTERING BBQ VEGETABLES:

Quick and Easy Preparation: Cut your veggies to size for swift cooking, ensuring they're ready to serve in just a few minutes.

BBQ CAPSICUM, ZUCCHINI, AND EGGPLANT:

Capsicums: Quarter and remove seeds, lightly brush with oil and season before grilling for 2-4 minutes on each side.

Zucchinis: Slice lengthwise into manageable pieces and grill until tender.

Eggplant: Cut into slices or halves, season, and grill until just tender, ensuring to brush with oil to prevent burning.

BBQ MUSHROOMS:

Large, flat mushrooms or gourmet varieties like Swiss browns and Portobellos offer a meaty alternative.

Season with balsamic, salt, pepper, and garlic, then grill top-side down first to retain moisture.

BBQ POTATOES, SWEET POTATOES, AND PUMPKIN:

Peel, slice, and par-boil or lightly cook before grilling over medium heat for a perfect texture. Remember not to overcook!

BBQ TOMATOES:

Halve ripe tomatoes and grill briefly on each side for a burst of smoky flavour, perfect for a BBQ bruschetta.

BBQ SWEETCORN:

Peel back husks and remove silk, then rewrap in husks and secure.

Soak briefly in cold water before grilling over medium heat until tender, then serve with herb or garlic butter.

Indulge in the wholesome goodness of grilled vegetables at your next barbecue, where every bite promises freshness, flavour and a healthy twist to your feast.
