When talking about healthy food, people often forget that it can also be delicious - and Grigliata is the best example!

If you want your family to eat more vegetables and healthy proteins, then try cooking this amazing dish at home.

Here are a few tips that will make your Grigliata even tastier.

Marination Magic

Marinate your meats and vegetables before grilling. Create a marinade using olive oil, garlic, herbs, and a touch of acidity like lemon or vinegar. 

Let them soak up the flavors for at least 30 minutes to enhance taste and tenderness.

Preheat the Grill

Ensure your grill is preheated before placing anything on it. 

A properly heated grill sears the food quickly, locking in juices and creating that appealing grilled texture.

Oil the Grates

Prevent sticking by brushing the grill grates with oil before cooking. 

This not only helps with easy flipping but also adds a subtle grilled flavor to your food.

Timing is Key

Pay attention to cooking times. Different items require different durations on the grill. 

A meat thermometer can be handy to ensure meats are cooked to perfection without overdoing them.

Mindful Flipping

Resist the urge to constantly flip your food. Let it develop a nice sear on one side before turning. 

This helps achieve those beautiful grill marks and enhances the flavor.

Charcoal or Gas Flavor

If using a charcoal grill, experiment with different wood chips for added smokiness. 

For gas grills, consider using wood planks or chips in a smoker box to infuse a subtle smoky flavor.

Rest Before Serving

Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after grilling. 

This redistributes the juices, ensuring a moist and flavorful result. Cutting into meat too soon may lead to loss of juices.
