If there’s anything that I strongly associate with summer, it has to be the grill. These outside cooking devices are best enjoyed with a beer in hand on a warm day.
While hamburgers and chicken might be things that come to mind as foods made on a grill, there is a variety of foods that can also taste great with the smoky flavor of a grill.
Try out these next three items on your grill the next time you find yourself cooking outside.
Watermelon
That’s right. This beloved summer fruit can be turned into something completely different when you prepare slices of it on the grill. The smoky flavor of the grill creates a fascinating flavor combination when combined with watermelon, turning into a perfect sweet and savory side dish.
Mushrooms
Looking for a hearty grill option that’s meatless? Grilling whole mushrooms like portobellos can be the perfect option for you. Grilled mushrooms seasoned with garlic and olive oil are sure to be a hit for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike at your next barbecue.
Pineapple
Another fruit that’s delicious when grilled is pineapple. Adding heat to this fruit actually caramelizes some of its sugars, turning its flavor into an even more intense experiment. You can eat it on its own, or even top hamburgers with it!
