Grilled vegetables are one of the staples of BBQ parties with a plant-based twist, but it takes some time to master them. If you’re trying to take your grilled veggies to the next level and make them as delicious as possible, these three tips will get you there.

Slicing Technique

The way you slice your veggies before putting them on the grill could make or break them. Different slicing techniques work better with different kinds of veggies, and you should find the perfect balance with each one, and make sure they’re not too thick or thin.

Perfect Combo

Grilling several different types of veggies at once can be tricky because they require different grilling times. To avoid any mistakes, it’s a good idea to separate veggies by their tenderness. To make sure they’re all done around the same time, try preparing soft and hard vegetables separately.

Just Add Oil

Most people feel that using oil is unnecessary when you’re grilling your veggies, but this is a huge no-no. A light coating of oil can do wonders for your vegetables because it allows them to absorb salt, paper, and other seasonings and stops them from drying out too fast.

Where do you stand on carrots? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t add them to many of your meals, and that’s where you’re wrong. One of the best ways to prepare carrots is to grill them and if you haven’t tried that already, now is the best time.

Grilled veggies can be so delicious that you can easily forget they’re actually good for you. If you’re not really into eating vegetables and want to change that, it’s a good idea to start with grilled peppers, squash, zucchini, etc. We urge you to try grilled carrots as well because they will amaze you with unexpected flavor. Carrots contain a lot of natural sugar and will taste great with some olive oil and salt. They are a perfect side dish for any main course and you can serve them alone or with some dipping sauce. The preparation is pretty simple.

You’ll Need

  • A bunch of carrots
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Some salt

Instructions

  1. Cut off the carrots’ tops and scrub or peel them.
  2. Slice the carrots in half lengthwise, unless they are so thin that this becomes impossible.
  3. Use a big bowl to mix the carrots with olive oil and salt.
  4. Place the carrots on heated grill or grill pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping them over several times.
  5. Once your fork can easily pierce through them, they are done.

Salads are an amazing dish to have, especially in the summer, for so many reasons. Not only are there so many gorgeous vegetables that are in season, but it’s a great way to get in extra water and refresh your palette.

The only thing about salads is that they’re usually raw, which isn’t amazing for your digestive system. However, by adding some seasonal veggies and grilling them, you can get great flavor and even more digestive benefits from your salad! Try these combinations out for yourself.

Corn

Corn is obviously one of the main ingredients of summer, as it is sweet and super versatile. Throw a few ears onto the grill, and once they’re nice and charred, shave them off into a bowl with some tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, fresh herbs, and a nice big squeeze of lime juice. Drizzle over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and you have an insanely flavorful dish in no time.

Squash

All sorts of squash are in season during the summer, including zucchini, yellow squash, and more! Grilling these types of veggies gives them great body, and makes for an awesome salad! Keep them large or cut them small and add them to a bowl with quinoa and crumbled feta and you have a simple but wholesome side dish!
