- Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the top if desired.
- Scatter the basil leaves generously over the grilled vegetables.

Tips:
- For even cooking, slice all the vegetables uniformly.
- Marinating the vegetables in olive oil and vinegar for at least 15 minutes before grilling can enhance their flavor.
- Keep an eye on the grill; vegetables can cook quickly and you don't want them to burn.
- Using a grilling basket can help prevent smaller vegetables from falling through the grill grates.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
