Whether it's charcoal, gas or a simple fire pit, grilled foods are the best tasting hands down! I know in my house, and in my family we can't wait to fire up the grill when preparing our favorite foods. An added bonus is that grilling is actually a healthier way to prepare your food. Since grilling involves little to no fat in the cooking process, it is a good choice when trying for a healthy lifestyle.
- Keep your grill clean, a grill that is clean not only cooks better but is safer (less likely for your food to burn, or catch on fire)
- When prepping food for the grill, trim off excess fats. The grill locks in the great flavor of almost all foods so that extra fat isn’t needed.
- Use flavors such as fresh basil, rosemary, oregano or thyme. These hearty herbs will pair great with the charred flavor of grilled foods.
- Be careful not to undercook your grilled foods, remember your proper cooking temperature to prevent food born illness. cooking temp chart
- Get creative! Try grilling pizza dough or bread, grill lettuce and hearty vegetables like zucchini and summer squash; make your own roasted red peppers.
- Desserts on the grill…Try grilling pineapple or peaches for an extra special and unique dessert, no extra sugar needed, and your sneaking in some vitamins, minerals and fiber.
