How to Make Grilled Vegetables with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Glaze
- Wash and cut all vegetables and cut. Place in a large bowl, plastic Ziploc bag or vessel of choice.
- Add 1/2 the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. (I have also marinated the veggies in Italian dressing and other combinations). Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- If grilling outside, preheat your grill to medium-low and brush grate with olive oil. Indoor grill, the same. Place vegetables on grill for 2-4 minutes each side, turn.
If roasting in the oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees (I have a hot oven so I usually have it at 325). Lightly coat pan with olive oil and cook until each side has a nice golden brown color; turn. - While veggies are grilling/roasting, heat balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and reduce by at least half.
- Arrange cooked veggies on a platter, top with goat cheese and drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top and nuts (optional).
- Serve with crunchy bread, warm, soft pita/flat bread.
