    This amazing recipe of Simple Grilled Veggies is an easy side dish for summer and beyond.

    Veggies are charred to perfection, with a crisp texture, healthy and nutritious, and so easy to prepare. Have you ever tried grilled turnips? Or how about grilled garlic scapes? Foil packet green beans are so delicious. Such a great way to highlight seasonal vegetables.

    Simple Grilled Veggies are perfect for bbq dinners.


    Around here we just love to barbecue, especially during the summer months. From breakfast to dessert and everything in between, if we can find a way to use the grill, that is how it is cooked.

    RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for these easy grilled vegetables can be found at the bottom of this post.

    How To Grill Vegetables

    For this recipe, I used both the grill and a grill basket. Full instructions are in the recipe card below.

    • Wash and vegetables and set them aside.
    • Prepare the oil marinade, and place the cauliflower and broccoli in a freezer bag.
    • Marinate the veggies for up to an hour.

    Suggestions/Recipe Tips

    Vegetables can really be anything you like. Zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, turnips, potatoes, the colour of the rainbow is your selection. It’s a great way to enjoy seasonal vegetables. You can even make some zucchini burgers.

    Seasoning is where grilling veggies shine. You can use anything you like. I used Italian seasoning in this recipe. Seasoning blends of all kinds, or your own custom blend will work wonderfully. Fresh herbs can be used as well. Rosemary and oregano can withstand some heat. Basil and dill are best used at the very end so they do not burn.

    Serving is super easy. Garnish with fresh lemon juice, pile on a platter and serve. Grilled vegetable skewers are also fun to make. You can also use the vegetables in salads, sandwiches and wraps.

    Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    No grill basket? No worries. You can also wrap the vegetables in foil and cook on the grill. Turn the packet over at least once during the cooking time. Placing the veggies right on the grill works well too. Be sure the pieces are big enough so they do not fall through the grates.

    To marinate or not to marinate? The choice is really up to you. If I have time, I like to do this step to add some wonderful flavours. This is not necessary, you can just quickly toss the washed and cut veggies with oil and seasoning and you are good to go.
