The Mise en Place

The Spice Blend (0/2)
The Pantry (0/3)
Vegetables are burning on the outside but still raw inside.
Reduce the grill heat or move the vegetables to a cooler part of the grill.
Balsamic glaze is too thin.
Continue simmering the glaze until it reaches the desired consistency.
Chef's Notes
Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking on the grill. Aim for pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
Don't overcrowd the grill. Cook vegetables in batches if necessary to ensure they char nicely, not steam.
Chop all vegetables and toss with oil and seasonings up to 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.
