7 Pro Veggie Grilling Tips For Summer BBQs
Vegetables often get kicked to the side for things like burgers and steaks during summer grilling time, but who decided that in the first place? With a few tips and tricks, you can make excellent grilled veggies for all your friends at your next BBQ. Choose veggies that are in season. The first step to good veggies is utilizing seasonal veggies. In summer months like July and August, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, corn, and peppers are at their peak. Utilize these veggies in the timeframe they're in season for the best flavor and quality possible, and you're already two steps ahead. In-season produce is also typically more affordable, more nutritious, and easier to find. Give vegetables the meat treatment. When I say "meat treatment," I mean treat your vegetables and fruits for grilling the same way you would a good piece of steak. Season generously with salt and pepper, and pat wet foods dry with a paper towel before adding them to the grill to make it easier to get those coveted grill marks and flavor. You can even marinate your vegetables ahead of time, which will make them even more delicious. A simple marinade of olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and some herbs is a great way to start. You can also try scoring veggies like zucchini or yellow squash with a crisscross knife pattern, barely slicing into them. This allows flavors from the marinade to soak in and also gives them a fun texture while promoting even cooking. Serve grilled veggies with a sauce or dressing. When things are cooked on the grill, they get a deep, charred flavor. Ingredients like citrus or honey can brighten these deep flavors in a way that doesn't work against them. For example, try serving your grilled peppers, asparagus, or squash with a yogurt-style sauce like tzatziki or a tahini dressing. These flavors will pair excellently with your grilled foods, rather than working against them or covering them up. A garlicky aioli, homemade chimichurri, or fresh avocado salsa would also be great options here! Prep them ahead so you have time to focus on grilling instead of other cooking work. Hey, you! Wanna cook 7,500+ recipes in step-by-step mode (with helpful videos) right from your phone? Download the free Tasty app right now. Experiment with grilling different types of produce. Who said you can't grill a tomato (even though it's technically a fruit)? Why not try halving a head of romaine, adding a little oil, salt, and pepper, and grilling it until tender before serving with your favorite Caesar dressing? I had a revelation recently when my friend brought over steamed sweet potatoes and we popped them on the grill for a while. They were so delicious and still sweet after grilling, and steaming them helped because it would've taken way too long to cook them all the way on the grill alone. If things are browning too quickly, you can wrap them in foil to keep them cooking through without burning. Kabob time! One of the easiest ways to grill and serve vegetables is kabob-style. Using some long skewers, you can thread on pieces of bell pepper, mushroom, onion, pineapple, and whatever else you like using. While they're grilling, feel free to brush on a teriyaki sauce or a lemon vinaigrette. When they're done cooking, they're ready to eat: no slicing or cutting required! This is perfect for serving crowds, since you can place everything on skewers hours ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. Utilize two-zone cooking for the best cook and flavor. Grills typically have some hot spots where food will cook and brown faster. Mine are towards the back of my propane grill, and it's usually cooler towards the front where it's not getting as much heat. I always start by giving my veggies a long sear on the back hot spot, then move them forward to the cooler part of the grill to continue cooking them through completely. I like to simply test with a fork, and I know it's ready when it's easily pierced and doesn't feel super firm. If things are taking longer to cook, you can shut the lid for a while and check again after a few minutes. Use foil for smaller ingredients that aren't on skewers. It can be hard to grill vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and snap peas. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't! If you want to cook smaller items that could end up falling through the cracks of the grate, just lay down a piece or two of lightly oiled aluminum foil. You can cook things right on top of the foil instead of directly on the rack. They won't get as much browning as cooking directly on the grill, but this trick makes it easier to cook everything outside instead of having to do any indoor cooking.

Oldest Asian black bear in human care in US has ‘last best day.' Meet Beezler
The oldest Asian black bear under human care in the U.S. was given her 'last best day' before being humanely euthanized at the age of 30, Colorado zoo officials said. Beezler, who stood at 2 and a half feet tall to the shoulder and was part of a breed that isn't commonly seen in zoos, came to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in 1994 along with her sister Honey, who died in 2022, according to a June 30 Facebook post by the Colorado Springs-based zoo. 'It may sound strange, but we work hard and have hours of discussions to make sure we're giving each animal its Last Best Day,' Bob Chastain, president and CEO at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, said in the post. 'We wanted to make sure Beezler was healthy enough to pass peacefully. That meant a few things for us. She needed to eat something so we could keep her medicated, and we needed her to be comfortable and peaceful while the process took place. The team was able to achieve that peaceful passing for Beezler, and that's comforting to all of us. She'll be deeply missed.' As part of the 'bright brown' eyed and 'fluffy' girl's 'last best day' before being euthanized on June 29, she was given cookies, whipped cream, muffins and meatballs while she soaked in the sun one last time, the zoo said. Staff went to see Beezler to say their goodbyes, sign a card and 'express their gratitude for her,' zookeepers said. Although she was considered 'old,' Beezler would even surprise her 'care team by climbing up' a structure that sat 15 feet high, the zoo said. 'She was the oldest Asiatic black bear in human care in the country, but it seems like she only turned 'old' really recently,' Jessi Palmer, Rocky Mountain Wild animal keeper, said in the post. 'She was still so mentally sharp, observant and engaged. It's like we knew she was old, but she didn't believe it. I think many people who are aging related to her and were inspired by her. She just kept going.' Asian black bears typically live up to 25 years in the wild and as long as 39 years in captivity, and they are considered a vulnerable species, with 60,000 remaining in the world, according to Britannica. Rocky Mountain Wild senior animal keeper, Erika Furnes, worked with Beezler for nine years and said the 'adorable' girl was always able to 'keep you on your toes,' the zoo said. The bear known for her 'sweet' and 'patient' confidence also had a 'side of respectable sass,' the zoo said. 'During training sessions, sometimes Beezler was training us,' Furnes said. 'If you weren't delivering her training rewards the right way — holding the tongs at just the right angle, getting the food portions perfect and pacing them as quickly as she wanted them — she would start taking the food from the tongs with a bit more quickness and intensity. She was still gentle, taking the food just with her lips, but she would definitely communicate if your performance wasn't up to her standards.' Furnes said Beezler taught staff 'a lot about making accommodations for aging animals' as their 'bodies slow down.' Toward the end of her life, what was once her pool was turned into a dirt pile, 'which she loved,' the zoo said. Beezler always remained young at heart, even basking in 'young bear enrichment' like tearing up a log that had porcupine scent on it, the zoo said. People would attend the zoo just to see Beezler, even sometimes asking where she was when she was in her den taking a nap, the zoo said. 'A big part of our role is to help guests fall in love with animals, but she didn't need us,' Furnes said. 'She did that on her own. People connected with her in so many ways, and she was the perfect ambassador for her species.'
