I grill year-round, and this simple, yet sumptuous, recipe is a winning way to put plenty of vegetables on the table. The confetti colors and flavors entertain and entice kids, yet the dish also satisfies more sophisticated adult palates. If you don't yet have a grill topper, consider buying one. Grill toppers prevent small and delicate foods from falling between the grates, allowing you to cook your entire meal on the grill rather than running between the kitchen and the grill. That's handy if you don't have a sous chef.
