Tips
To achieve perfectly grilled vegetables, start by selecting fresh, firm, and vibrant-coloured vegetables, as this will ensure the best flavours and textures. When preparing to grill, make sure the grill or griddle pan is hot enough to create a beautiful sear and prevent sticking. Evenly coat the vegetables with oil to ensure consistent cooking and avoid burning. Grill them just long enough to achieve a slightly charred exterior and tender interior. To determine if they are done, check for softened texture and slightly darkened grill marks. Ideally, they should still retain some crispness without feeling or tasting raw.

How to make grilled vegetables?
To make grilled vegetables, heat a grill or griddle pan and brush the vegetables with oil.

Sprinkle with salt, basil, and pumpkin seeds before serving.
What to serve with grilled vegetables?

The creamy edamame hummus adds a contrasting smoothness to the charred vegetables, while the butter-tossed boiled potatoes provide a comforting, tender side dish that everyone will enjoy.
How to season grilled vegetables?
Sprinkle with salt, basil, and pumpkin seeds just before serving. This combination adds a balance of savoury, herbal, and nutty flavours while enhancing the natural taste of the grilled vegetables and providing a delightful contrast in texture. You do not need much seasoning as the various delicious flavours from, among others, onion, tomato, aubergine, and courgette are more than enough to tickle your taste buds.
How long do grilled vegetables last in the fridge?
Grilled vegetables typically last for about 3 to 5 days in the fridge when stored properly. To ensure optimal freshness, keep them in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in cling film or foil before refrigerating. It is essential to let the vegetables cool down to room temperature before storing them to prevent excess moisture, which can cause them to spoil more quickly.
Can you freeze grilled vegetables?
Yes, you can freeze the grilled vegetables for up to 3 months and enjoy them later. First, let them cool to room temperature, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper without them touching each other. Freeze for a couple of hours until they are frozen solid before transferring them to airtight containers or freezer bags.
