Eggplant sizzles up great on the grill. Combine it with fresh red onion, and you’ve got a terrific grilled veggie combo.

Why Try? Summer’s a wonderful time to roast your garden fresh vegetables on the grill.

Foodie Byte: For a more exotic variation, try using Japanese eggplant. They’re not as bitter, require no salting, and are now widely available.
