Grilled Vegetable Recipes

by

In my opinion, peppers, summer squash, onions, mushrooms, and corn are the best vegetables to grill because when they’re cut into similar-sized pieces and skewered, they all cook at roughly the same rate, and when you slide them off the skewer, you get a mouthwatering mix of textures and flavors. Once July arrives, we make this grilled vegetables recipe just about every week.

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables with the lid closed until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers, onion, and mushroom; 5-7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, and eggplant and asparagus.

Do you put oil on vegetables before grilling?

Unlike meat, vegetables are better marinated AFTER cooking because they absorb flavor so much more effectively when they’re hot. Tastes like homemade antipasto. The best grilled vegetables are charred on the BBQ or roasted in the oven, then marinated in a lovely lemony herb garlic dressing.

How long should vegetables cook on the grill?

Before placing the vegetables on the grill, toss them with a light coating of oil. Don’t use too much—dripping oil leads to flare-ups and greasy flavors, and too little oil makes the vegetables dry out when they come in contact with the heat.
