GRILL SEASONING
Lately I've seen a lot of recipes that call for grill seasoning. Besides the cost (nearly $5 for a bottle), it's chock full of MSG and other nasties. Taking a tip from Rachael Ray, I've made my own and use it for anything I'm grilling or want to give a grilled taste to. UPDATE: Monstr pointed out there's no MSG in McCormick's grill seasoning. There is, however, hydrogenated oil in it, and MSG can be found in other brands. So read your labels, and if MSG, hydrogenaged oils or the price tag bother you, mixing your own is the way to go.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together well and store in an airtight container.
- Use it for anything you're grilling or when you're looking for a grilled taste.
- Note: Corriander can be replaced with any herb you like. This is the one I hear called for most often. Experiment!
- Another note: This is a 3:1 ratio, for the most part. Make any amount, just allow for 3 parts pepper, 1 part each of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and corriander, and 1/3 part crushed red pepper flakes. Using tablespoons, this makes enough for 7 or 8 meals under normal usage.

GRILLED VEGETABLES
This is a great side dish or can use as entree. Terrific folded in a tortilla, even cold. Have also put on sub rolls with cheese for a vegetarian entree. I often double since this has so many uses later in the week for meals. Have also made a cold pasta salad with these chopped or a hot pasta dish topped with parmesan and added cooked cubed chicken. Use your choice of vegetables (asparagus, green beans), but this is what I like. Serving size based on a side dish.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold up well on the grill, such as zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and mushrooms, are good choices. Avoid delicate vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes, which will wilt and burn easily.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are grilling vegetables of different sizes, cook them in batches.
- Preheat your grill: A hot grill will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Use a grill basket: A grill basket can help to keep the vegetables from falling through the grates.
- Brush the vegetables with oil: This will help them to brown and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the vegetables: You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Be careful not to over-season the vegetables, as this can overwhelm the natural flavor.
- Grill the vegetables until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetable. Vegetables should be cooked until they are slightly charred and tender-crisp.
Conclusion:
Grilled vegetables are a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can make sure that your grilled vegetables turn out perfectly every time.
