Grilled Veggies

Servings: 4 servings 
Prep Time: 10 Minutes

What you need:
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 potatoes)

• 1 to 2 pounds asparagus (1 to 2 bunches)

• 2 zucchini cut into spears
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

What to do:

1. Prepare the grill for hot, direct heat.
2. While the grill is heating up, pull back corn husks and soak them in water.
3. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice lengthwise, or on a diagonal, into 1/4 inch-thick pieces.
4. Trim asparagus at the natural break and cut zucchini into spears.
5. Coat the vegetables with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Once the grill is hot, lay vegetables down onto the grill grates. Cover the grill and cook until each side gets some grill marks, between 3-5 minutes for each side, asparagus may take longer depending on how hot your grill is. Enjoy!
