Prepare Vegetables for the grill or roasting

The Impressor™ 60-blades attachment works wonders when it comes to preparing vegetables for grilling or roasting. Thoroughly rinse vegetables and pat or air them dry. Using a good chef’s knife, slice your favorite vegetables one-quarter to one-half inch thick. Slicing them lengthwise creates larger pieces easier to turn. Once the vegetables are sliced, gently pierce each piece on one side or both, if possible. Use caution not to break them. Place sliced vegetables into a Pyrex dish or plastic storage bag and season them with natural spices such as garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Coating the vegetables with balsamic or red wine vinegar and olive oil will add flavor and will draw the spices deep into the fibers of the vegetables. Let vegetables marinate for ten minutes or longer, then grill or roast them to perfection. Served with a squeeze of fresh lemon makes a healthy Mediterranean side dish perfect with grilled or roasted meats or poultry.
