Perfectly crisp-tender grilled veggies served with an amazing, tangy, garlicky basil sauce. You’ll want this sauce on everything!
I’ll be honest. I’m not entirely the biggest veggie-eater.
Nope, my priorities are typically on bread, pasta, anything with cheese, more bread, and maybe more pasta.
But if they’re grilled, I will eat every single vegetable there is. Smothered, topped, drizzled with this epic basil sauce. So perfectly tangy, so perfectly garlicky.
Not like vampire-garlicky but just enough for that wonderful kick.
