Product Focus: Sawa Sawa Grilling Dry Spice Blend
Ingredients:
- 1 large zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, left whole
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sawa Sawa Grilling Dry Spice Blend
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare Vegetables: Wash and chop all vegetables. For cherry tomatoes, you can thread them onto skewers to prevent them from falling through the grates.
Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Saffron & Sands Sawa Sawa blend, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.
Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F / 190-200°C).
Grill Vegetables: Arrange the vegetables directly on the grill grates. For smaller pieces, consider using a grill basket or skewers.
Cook Time: Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until tender-crisp and nicely charred. Cherry tomatoes will soften and burst slightly.
Serve: Remove from grill and serve immediately as a vibrant side dish.
Tips for Success:
- Consistent Cuts: Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Don't Crowd the Grill: Grill in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can steam rather than char the vegetables.
- Marinade Time: For even deeper flavor, let the seasoned vegetables sit for 15-30 minutes before grilling.
