   Heat up the grill until it is hot and ready for cooking.

   Start by placing the vegetables onto the preheated grill. Allow them to cook until they develop a golden brown color, ensuring to turn them gently to evenly brown all sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Once adequately browned, take the vegetables off the grill and allow them to cool down slightly before serving.
