Making Grilled Summer Veggies Is EASY
This recipe is really, really easy. All that is involved in the prep work for this delicious side dish is slicing and cutting up the assortment of vegetables.
I even was able to use some homegrown veggies from our garden as part of this dish (yee haw!) and that always makes me happy!
Once the veggies are sliced and chopped, put them into a large bowl. I use zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, green and red pepper, green beans (even yellow fillet beans from our garden), and baby carrots.
You can certainly add in any additional veggies you enjoy to make this dish “your own”. That’s the best way, right? You’ve got to like what you’re cooking!
Season The Vegetables
Season the veggies with olive oil, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Give them a good toss, to fully coat the veggies with the seasoning.
Use A BBQ Grill-Safe Basket
After the veggies and seasonings are combined, put them into a BBQ-safe grill pan (we got one for about $8 at a home improvement warehouse).
NOTE: If you don’t have access to a grill pan, use a cast iron skillet on your BBQ to cook these, but remember… the cast iron skillet will get REALLY hot!).
The grill pan we used has a handle to carry it that detaches once you get it on the BBQ grill, then reattaches to lift pan off the grill once done. It is pretty handy to use!
Grill The Vegetables
Cook the veggies on a medium-hot grill for about 15 minutes or so, stirring often. My husband was the “Grill-Meister and Stirrer-Extraordinaire” for this dish!
Some of the veggies will get a nice char on them or get slightly golden brown… that’s great! Just remember to stir them occasionally so they don’t burn!
We love cooking veggies on our Weber grill, because the smoky smell permeates the vegetables and gives them such a wonderful, smoky flavor!
Serve The Grilled Summer Veggies
Once the veggies are done (fork-tender), we bring them inside and top them with grated Parmesan cheese and serve them up, straight out of the grill pan! YUM!
The Parmesan cheese will melt on top of the vegetables due to the heat, which makes it a great topping.
I hope you will give this EASY recipe for grilled summer veggies a try. These grilled summer veggies are a wonderful accompaniment to most meat dishes.
I am confident you and those you love will really like them, too! May you find beauty all around you today. Hope you’re actively looking for it and being grateful for it, too!
Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
