I often joke that there is no job that I didn’t do. This is mainly because it is difficult for me to say no. I like to see the world outside of my box, and if it can learn some new skills, I’m all of me. “Yes” say how I learned to use the grill instead of fearing it, and how I learned to make one of the simplest, most delicious vegetable dishes: balsamic vinegar grilled vegetables.
Shortly after completing the cooking school, I accepted a job for a catering company. We were hired to edit a variety of parties and events, but our outdoor bookings were my favorite. It was a bit of fun working with my feet in the grass (of course in shoes) and the fresh air that surrounds me.
One of our most requested dishes was our grilled vegetable plate. I had prepared it several times, but had never cooked it when our preparatory chef did not show up for work – which made the grill to a man. I pretended to know what I was doing until I finally got the shoot and even fell in love.
It turned out that grilling was a lot of fun. On this day I grilled what felt like hundreds of pounds of vegetables, and learned a few things on the way. Now I’m happy to share the recipe (and some tips) with you!

Tips for the production of balsamic vessels -grilled vegetables
These are all tips and tricks that make sure you get the most delicious grilled vegetables:
- Do you know your grill. Every grill is different. Everyone has cool and vice versa. Identify them before adding your vegetables so that you can cook it perfectly.
- Let the grill preheat. There is nothing sadder than lending your grill and not hearing a “zizzle” to accompany it. Give your grill at least 15 minutes to warm up before adding your vegetables.
- Cooking vegetables quickly. My cooking time below is a range and recommendation. As I already mentioned, every grill is different. So if you find that your vegetables cook faster/longer, you have to adjust your time accordingly.
- Shake excess marinade. Extra marinade literally gives the fire to the fire.
- Use grill tongs. These long metal tongs to grill protect their arms and hands as they turn vegetables around.
- Save the marinade. Since you do not use the marinade to season raw meat, you can save and use it to dress the finished dish!
