Categories: Healthy, Dairy-Free, Gluten free, Season: Spring/Summer/Autumn Grilled vegetables are a standard starter on many menus across Italy. It makes for a delicious variety of flavours, textures and colours. It is also very healthy. The variety of vegetables can change with the season. If you don't have a grill, these are also very delicious grilled on a cast-iron grill pan. Each of these vegetables can be made on its own as described below and served as a side dish. Alternatively the grilled vegetables can be cut into bite-sized pieces and tossed as a salad. Leftovers are excellent with cheese in a grilled sandwich, particularly on focaccia bread. The aubergine, peppers and zucchini can also be salted and jarred covered in olive oil with aromatics to keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
