However grilling doesn’t have to include meat
If you’re a vegetarian, or enjoy incorporating vegetarian meals to switch it up, there are loads of recipes you can use. My favourite grilled vegetable is asparagus, it’s a wonderful side-dish to many summer meals, is a good source of fibre, folate, and contains vitamins A, C, E, and K.
