The Best Vegetables to Grill
Vegetables – Zucchini (or yellow squash), red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, asparagus, and tomatoes are an ideal combination to grill! Other options include, (but aren’t limited to!), par-cooked chunks of potatoes, 1” rounds of fresh corn, eggplant, broccoli or cauliflower florets, or halved brussels sprouts.
Seasonings – Just a little olive oil, lemon juice, and some fresh garlic and parsley make a light marinade that brings out the best of the caramelized flavors of the veggies.
How to Grill Veggies
It’s super easy to make these tasty vegetables!
- Toss veggies in a bowl with veggie marinade until coated.
- Place on the grill and cook until the desired doneness, turning (or shaking a grill basket) until the vegetables are lightly charred.
- Serve hot or room temperature.
Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar or top with a little parmesan cheese or even chimichurri sauce before serving, if desired.
PRO TIPS:
- Cut the veggies large enough that they can’t slip through the grates.
- If desired, use a bbq mat, grill pan, or grilling basket to cook the veggies.
- As the vegetables start to become tender, remove them from the grill and place them on a plate.
- This grilled vegetable recipe can be served hot off the grill or at room temperature.
- Leftover vegetables are great added to pasta or even salads.
