Method
Slice washed vegetables into similar sized pieces. Leave vegetables such as beans and asparagus whole.
Place vegetables on a large piece of foil. Spray with oil. Add freshly ground black pepper. Fold foil to form a secure parcel.
Place on barbecue. Turn over half way through cooking time.
As a guide, tomatoes will take about 8 minutes, however, kūmara may take up to 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and very carefully unwrap the foil as the steam will escape.
Tip: pre or partially boil, steam or microwave, sliced, dense vegetables, such as kūmara or carrots.
