So supposedly grilled meat isn't all that great for you because the burned part is carcinogenic. Is the same thing true with grilled vegetables? I LOVE grilling zucchini and eggplant, etc, and my favorite part is the black part.

??? I've never heard that burned meat via grilling is carcenogenic. Do you have supporting source material? – Ben May 26 2011 at 15:47

Unless you're cooking meat improperly and burning the crap out of it there is absolutely nothing wrong with grilling meat from everything I have read. – HeatherC May 26 2011 at 16:14

This article suggests that you're safe, so long as you don't char your vegetables - cook them over indirect heat. So, brown but not black. I think you'll still get that caramelization you're looking for.
