Notes

Tips
Always pick fresh veggies.
The fresher they are, the better the flavors after grilling.
Keep a close eye on the balsamic reduction.
It can go from perfect to burnt pretty quickly.
Try to slice vegetables evenly.
This ensures they cook uniformly.
For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some feta or goat cheese on top.
