- Slice the veggies evenly to ensure even cooking. Thin strips work best for quick cooking.

- A squeeze of lime or lemon juice towards the end of cooking brightens up the flavors.
- Let the veggies rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Use veggies in a vegetarian quesadilla or even top your favorite grilled meat with them.
- You can even prepare the veggies ahead of time. Slice and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Cook them just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
