Instructions: Dont limit the grill to entrees. Add delicious flavor to fresh fruits and veggies too.

Move over meat! Make room on the grill rack for savory summer vegetables and spicy-sweet fruits. Theres no reason that side dishes and even desserts cant soak up the same smoky flavor that meat, poultry, and seafood do.

Fruits and soft vegetables dont need precooking, but sweet potatoes and other firm vegetables benefit from a quick simmer or steaming before hitting the grill. With this head start, they need less time on the grill and less fat to finish cooking. Marinades, herbs, and basting sauces bring out and complement the natural flavors of fresh produce. And with the coals already hot, why not grill fresh fruit for dessert? Fresh pineapple spears basted with a rummy glaze are a simple, delicious treat.
