Expert Tips

  • Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • Don’t cover grilled vegetables with foil to keep warm. The trapped steam will make them soft and soggy.
  • If you have fewer than 8 pieces of bell pepper, after grilling, cut them again lengthwise to ensure each bowl has red bell pepper.
  • Spinach can be substituted for mixed greens in your Grilled Mediterranean Vegetable Tacos.
