Roasted Veggies on the Grill

These root vegetables need to be cooked at high temperature, so when it's too hot to turn on the oven, we opt for the pizza oven or the grill.  I'm not one to have a ton of kitchen/grilling gadgets, but this adjustable grill basket is very handy.

Here I layered carrots with fresh herbs and quartered beets.  Note that I do not add any oil prior to grilling.  I put them on the top rack of a pre-heated BBQ on high.  You do not want them on direct heat, or they will burn.  Check them every 5 - 10 minutes and turn once when the bottom layers starts to brown.  Depending on your grill, overall cooking time will be anywhere from 15 - 30 minutes.

After cooking, toss with a *little* bit of olive oil - no more than a teaspoon - and salt and pepper.
