There is nothing more gorgeous than a big, colorful platter of grilled vegetables to accompany burgers, chicken, steak or as a first course. Kids are tempted by the beautiful colors and everyone loves the big, bold flavors.
The secret to making vegetables even more special is to marinate them. I build my marinades right in a reusable storage bag (easy and less messy) and then transfer the vegetables right to the grill.
Rainy day ruining your grilling plans? No problem! Transfer marinated vegetables to a parchment lined baking sheet and roast the veggies in a 400°F oven.
