Grilling again? Because grilling is a low-fat way to cook, it’s healthy— and can make healthful food even tastier.
Try these hints to add flavor, yet no fat or salt:
- Marinate veggies as well as meat, poultry, and fish. Marinate with oil-and-vinegar dressing in a zip-top plastic bag for quick cleanup.
- Time your basting. Brush on light, oil-based sauces earlier in grilling. For less charring, baste sauces containing sugars (fruit purée, honey, preserves) toward the end of the cooking.
- Grill veggies. Just brush on a little olive oil and herbs first.
- Smoke it. Brush on a little liquid smoke. It adds more outdoor taste, and it’s safe to eat.
- Season your coals. Toward the ending of grilling, sprinkle flavorful fresh herbs, citrus or apple peels, even whole, unpeeled garlic cloves on your coals. Enjoy the delicate flavor this gives.
