- First, it is important to preheat your grill before adding any food to it. This will help prevent your vegetables from sticking to the grill and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Next, make sure to oil your grill grates before adding the vegetables. This will help them not to stick and also add some flavor.
- Finally, do not overcrowd the grill. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary to have enough space to cook evenly on all sides.
