    Place vegetables in grill basket. Cover and grill vegetables 5 inches from medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning vegetables once or twice, until tender. Sprinkle with walnuts.

  • If you don’t have a grill basket, use a sheet of heavy-duty foil and poke a few holes in the foil with a fork.
  • When grilling a variety of vegetables at once, be prepared to take each off the grill at a different time. For maximum flavor, season the vegetables with salt and pepper both before and after grilling.
  • Olive oil can be substituted for the butter. Or omit the butter and spray the vegetables with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the seasonings.
  • Pine nuts can be substituted for the walnuts.
