Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Rinse the basil leaves and chop them coarsely.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat your grill or coal pit. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.

  2. 3

    Grill

    Place the coated vegetables directly on the grill grates or in a grilling basket. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes are slightly blistered.

  3. 4

    Add Chili

    Chop the fresh chili and add it to the vegetables during the last few minutes of grilling for an extra kick.

Serving

  1. 5
