Grilling tip: Double-skewering the okra makes it easy to turn the pieces on the grill and keeps them from falling through the grates.

Cantaloupe subsitutions: You can substitute any in-season fruit for the cantaloupe: firm ripe pears, peaches or apricots. You may need to chop and skewer them before grilling.

How to pick melons:

  • The melon should be free of dents and feel heavy for its size.
  • The cantaloupe rind should be firm but yield a little to the touch.
  • The melon should smell slightly sweet.

Ryan’s favourite jarred peppers:

  • Savör Organic Roasted Red peppers, $6.99, spud.ca.
  • Longos Sliced Roasted Red Peppers, $2.99, longos.com.
  • Unico Flame-Roasted Peppers, loblaws.ca.
