Basket, pan or skewers
The grates that come with your grill are shaped to be suitable for grilling meat, but less substantial ingredients, such as: B. pieces of fruit tend to fall through when heated. When grilling fruit, place it in a wire basket or tray with small holes that allow the flame to touch the food but prevent it from falling through. Another fun option: Soak wooden skewers (like those used for kabobs) in water for 30 minutes, pierce them through the fruit, then place them on the grill.
Go big
Fruit cooks quickly when grilled. Within minutes, small pieces may begin to dissolve. Cut it into large pieces, although you may need to cut it into bite-sized pieces before serving.
Light oil
Spraying sliced fruit with calorie-free cooking spray before grilling or drizzling sliced fruit with a little olive, coconut oil, or butter before grilling will enhance the flavor and prevent the pieces from sticking to the basket, pan, or rack. Avoid soaking the food with fat as this can cause a grease fire. Just apply it lightly.
Low, indirect heat
Cooking on a high flame can result in burnt fruit within a few minutes. It is better to grill fruit on the outer edges of the grates or over graying coals.
Allow to cool
Fruits contain a lot of water, which becomes extremely hot when grilled. Allow it to cool after removing it from the heat before eating it so that scalding water doesn't spray out and burn your mouth when you bite into it.
