Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

1. Instead of placing the vegetables directly on the grill, use a grill pan or thread them onto kabobs.
2. Cut and slice vegetables into larger chunks and pieces so they don’t fall through the grill.

3. Cut each variety of vegetables into evenly sized pieces to cook at the same rate.
4. Some vegetables take longer to grill, so add the denser vegetables first.
