5 Tips for Grilling Fruits and Vegetables
Grilling brings out the natural sweetness in fruits and vegetables. Here are a few tips from our test kitchen.- Use a grill pan or wooden skewers soaked in water for delicate and small foods.
- Vegetables can take the heat, meaning a medium-high heat is fine. Cook fruit over a low fire. If fruit is really ripe, give it only a few minutes on each side or it will dry up.
- Place halved stone fruits like peaches, plums and nectarines directly on the grill grate. Drizzle fruits with honey, and top with slivered almonds. For bananas: Leave them in their skins, and cut them down the middle, fill with chocolate chips, and wrap in heavy-duty foil; grill for 10–15 minutes.
- Thickly cut pineapple is lovely when grilled. Serve with coconut shavings and a squeeze of lime.
- Halve and score summer squashes and eggplant with a crisscross pattern over the flesh. Salt them ahead of time, and place cut-side down on paper towels or racks to draw out the water. Squeeze out any excess water; season with oil, salt, pepper and dried herbs of choice. Grill cut-side down first.
