Notes
Total prep time includes 1 hour of inactive time.
Slice them evenly. The thickness of the sliced veggies will determine the grilling time. Uniformity means they will cook in the same amount of time.
Know the grill times. Expect grill times to be different. Zucchini and summer squash sliced ¼ inch thick need 2-3 minutes per side; eggplant requires about 3-4 minutes. Cherry tomatoes need about 3-4 minutes to become slightly charred.
Use the proper amount oil. Use just enough olive oil so that the vegetables have a thin coating and grill perfectly. Avoid using too much as the final product will be greasy tasting; not enough and they will turn out dry.
Preheat the grill pan. Preheating the pan ensures the heat is evenly distributed throughout the pan. This, in turn, allows for even grilling.
