Chef’s Notes: Grilled vegetables are great as appetizers and make a great side dish. Leftovers are even better on salads, sandwiches, paninis, pizzas, and in pasta. If you are unable to grill the vegetables, you can achieve a similar affect by roasting them in the oven.
Doctor’s Notes: Many people who say they don’t like vegetables have just never tried them grilled which brings out their natural sweetness.
