How do you make your vegetables tasty to those who are not into the veggies like you are, Grill Them! Especially a wood or charcoal grill with a grill basket or flat grill pan. This was how I introduced my husband to zucchini and yellow squash. When I started I also grilled other vegetables I knew he would eat like peppers and potatoes and then mixed them all together. I also like this recipe because it doesn’t heat up your house. Good when it’s hot out. Is it how where you live?
Ingredients:
Your favorite summer veggies like zucchini, yellow squash, onions, eggplant, potatoes, and any others you like.
2 organic zucchini
1 organic yellow squash
1 large organic onion
Olive Oil
Course Celtic Sea Salt
Cracked Pepper
Directions:
Heat your grill and then after it’s heated place your grill pan onto the grates.
Toss the vegetables in a plastic sealed bag with the olive oil. This makes it easier to coat them on all sides. Take them out one at a time and place them onto the grill pan. If you just dump the bag with the excess oil onto the grill, you could start a fire and really hurt yourself. Close the lid and let the grill do the work. Every grill will be different but when they’re starting to char on one side you turn them over.
When you take them off, place them on a platter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Variations: You can add herbs after they are grilled and rosemary sprigs with no leaves to the fire.

I was just thinking of doing a kebob (is that how you spell it?) post with veggies like you’ve got on the grill here. I love grilled veggies and I have soooo much zucchini and a bunch of big, fat onions. How about a little red pepper? Mmmm, good post Diane.
I love grilled veggies…we have them quite often with various seasonings. We even use our indoor grill pan and they turn out beautifully.
Mmmmm….Yummy! I also like to use an italian herb blend of oregano/basil/sage/sea salt mixed w/ the olive oil and coated onto the veggies, too. A take off the old mix w/ Italian Dressing and throw on the grill.
My husband and I do this also. We add fresh tomatoes cut into wedges at the very end so they just barely get warm and then serve. Love it!
Michele- Tomatoes sound like a great addition!
Kirsten- Yum that sounds delish!
Amy- Great idea to use the indoor grill too.
Melissa- Thanks! I love red peppers too. I hope you’ll share your post for Friday Foodie Fix!
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare veggies! Grilled jicama is also delicious, basted with a little wheat-free shoyu.
Sarah- Love the idea of grilled jicama. I’m going to try that this summer! What else do you like to grill?
