Blackstone Griddle Balsamic Vegetables Recipe Faqs
Can I use different vegetables in this recipe? Yes, you can substitute other vegetables based on your preference.
Should I marinate the vegetables beforehand? Marinating isn’t necessary, but it can enhance the flavor if you have time. Let the vegetables sit in a mix of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and seasonings for 15–30 minutes before cooking.
How do I prevent vegetables from becoming soggy on the griddle? To keep vegetables crisp, avoid overcrowding on the griddle and ensure high heat.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftover balsamic vegetables?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, return them to the griddle or use a skillet over medium heat to revive their texture without making them too soft.
Can I make these vegetables without balsamic vinegar? Yes, for a different flavor, try using a mix of lemon juice and herbs or a light drizzle of soy sauce for umami flavor if balsamic isn’t preferred.
