Add a little something extra to your cookouts this summer with these tasty grilled veggie recipes using the vegetables you grew in your garden. The key is simplicity. These gems don’t need a lot of seasoning.
Grilling vegetables requires a different strategy than grilling meats. They cook much faster than chicken or burgers so you want your heat to be medium rather than high. You can use either a charcoal grill or a gas grill.
Using a grill pan is optional. Any of these vegetables can be put right on the grates directly—just align them so that they don’t fall through!
Serve your grilled veggies as a side with your favorite steaks and seafood, in a grilled antipasto salad, or by themselves!
More Ideas
More unusual selections include artichokes, Brussels sprouts, eggplant, kale, and romaine. For extra-flavorful results, marinate them in your favorite dressing in advance, or keep them simple with olive oil, sea salt, and fresh pepper. Kale, which can be a bit tough, becomes crispy and wilted when grilled. Enjoy it on its own, or add it to salads for a different kind of crunch.
