Grilling season is almost here. If you are looking for a simple and easy way to grill the veggies, then try this recipe. You do not need any extra preparation.
Just wash and cut the veggies and brush them with little olive oil and salt and pepper. Then grill it . I used Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill .
Once you have grilled veggies then serve with simple Balsamic vinegar dressing .
What vegetables are good for grilling?
Peppers, mushroom, corn, asparagus, summer squash, zucchini, asparagus ,eggplant are wonderful vegetables to grill.
For certain vegetables like asparagus and corn you do not need to slice them into pieces unless you are using skewers. Rest you need to slice them into half of ¼th depending upon the veggies you are using.
For example, zucchini you need to slice them into half and again into slices.
Whereas for Bell peppers you need to remove the seeds and grill as a whole or slice them into pieces.
For cherry tomatoes you can grill them as whole while Roma tomato you need to slice them into half.
Also, you need to slice the avocado into half and grill them.
Carrots you can grill them as such, or you can slice them into half
Cauliflower you can either skewer them into individual florets or as steaks.
Brush or toss vegetables with olive oil, coconut oil, to help them from drying out and sticking to the grill. Also, oil helps seasonings, like salt and pepper, stick better, too. If you want also to use a marinade or salad dressing for extra flavor and moisture. I prefer them to add it after grilled while they warm, they will absorb the flavor more. You can marinate the veggies for short period of them and grill them also.
Grilled vegetables are not only healthy after the raw. It has more flavor and tase than the raw one.
Approximate grilling time for the vegetables.
Bell pepper: whole grill for 10-12 minutes; halved or quartered grill for 8-10 minutes
Zucchini: ½″ lengthwise slices grill for 4 to 6 minutes
Mushroom: smaller mushrooms grill 4 to 7 minutes
Asparagus: grill for 4 to 6 minutes
Corn: grill for 15 to 20 minutes with or without husk
Tomato: halved tomatoes grill 6to 8 minutes
Make sure to Cut veggies approximately the same size. To help with consistency with certain vegetables, like Zucchini, squash
Always Brush with Oil. Oil will help the vegetables to not get stuck to the grill. Just drizzle or brush both sides of the vegetables with oil
Lightly Season. I prefer to cook vegetable with little pepper and salt first and then drizzle dressing while they are warm.
HOT Grill. You need to cook the veggies to about 350°F to 450°F, some of those veggies cook a little too fast! Make sure to flip the vegetables around so they do not burn.
Close the lid. Closing the lid of your grill creates the same environment as an oven, baking the vegetables as they lightly char. Check their progress either through glass window if you are using Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill otherwise just open the lid and check.
Finish with balsamic Vinegar sauce. This is simple and easy sauce the enhance the flavor of thegrilled vegetables you need balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, and parsley.
Enjoy the this healthy grilled vegetables as main dish with a bowl of soup.
