I love serving grilled vegetables with:

• Grilled Steak
• Grilled Corn on the Cob (in the husk)
• Grilled Chicken Breasts
• Grilled Chicken Thighs

FAQ + Tips and Tricks 

1. Can I prep these ahead of time: Yes, you can cut your veggies the day before and then toss them on the grill when you are ready.
2. What to do with leftovers: I love leftover grilled veggies just on their own, but they would are great in a little stir fry or steak salad.
3. How to prepare veggies for the grill: After we trim and slice the veggies, as needed, we are really just drizzling them in a little olive oil and then sprinkling with salt and pepper – super simple! Of course, if you have a Italian dressing you can use that as a marinade as well!

How to Prep Veggies for Grilling 

1. Zucchini: cut off the ends and then cut the zucchini lengthwise in strips
2. Bell Pepper: cut off the ends, cut out the white insides and then cut in half or into quarters
3. Asparagus: break off any tough ends
4. Onion: cut off both ends, remove skin and cut into thick slices
5. Yellow Squash: cut off the ends and then cut the zucchini lengthwise in strips

How to Grill Vegetables

Step One: prepare veggies and then drizzle with olive oil. Massage oil into veggies and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step Two: Grill at 450 degrees F. – most veggies (zucchini, bell pepper, onion and yellow squash take around 2-4 minutes per side and asparagus take about 5-6 minutes total.

Step Three: Remove from the grill and enjoy!

Instructions

1. Ensure grill grates are clean; preheat grill to 450 degrees F.
2. Meanwhile, prepare your veggies and drizzle them in olive or avocado oil. Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
3. Once grill is hot add your vegetables in a single layer (you might have to do more than one batch depending upon how much you are grilling) over direct heat.
4. Close the grill and let cook about 2-3 minutes.
5. Open the grill and flip your zucchini, bell peppers and yellow squash. Rotate your asparagus. Close grill and let cook another 1-2 minutes. Then open and flip your onions. Close the grill.
6. After another 2-3 minutes open the grill and your zucchini, bell pepper, asparagus and yellow squash should be done (if they don’t look done enough just close the lid and let them cook a bit more). Otherwise, place them on a platter.  Let the onion cook another 1-2 minutes and then remove them from the grill as well.*
7. Serve immediately.

Notes

• Every grill is different and some can be much hotter than others.  Also, you might cut your veggie thicker than I did. Always use your eye when grilling and your best judgment – if your zucchini or asparagus are starting to look really charred, take them off. Or if you like a more crunchy grilled veggie – don’t cook as long. If you like a really well-cooked veggie – cook a minute or two longer.  That being said, veggies really don’t take too long to cook on the grill so stay close and watch them carefully.
