Tips & Notes
If you don’t have all of these vegetables on hand, don’t fret – you can omit, add or substitute almost any garden-fresh grilled vegetable. To try this recipe with eggplant, peel and slice it into rounds, and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Then follow the same instructions as the squash and zucchini.
