In advance
- Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the grid, to a temperature of 180°C.

- For the herb oil, peel the garlic and pluck the leaves off the sprigs of basil. Grind the garlic and basil, together with the olive oil, in a small food processor or using a hand blender. Drizzle the vegetables with the herb oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
