Around here we just love to BBQ.  We try to do it all year long, but certainly this summer we have been grilling up some wonderful meals.  It seems lately we have been hosting BBQ’s every weekend!!  From breakfast to dessert and everything in between, if we can find a way to use the grill…that is how it is cooked.

Veggies are one of our favourite things to cook.  There is something about that smokey flavour and crunchy texture that makes Simple Grilled Veggies taste awesome.  With the help of so many wonderful spices and flavoured oils, plain veggies are taken to a whole new level of good!! Honestly all it takes are some veggies, seasonings, a BBQ and grill basket and you are good to go.  Awesome veggies are but minutes away.

You can grill just about any veggie you want.  Today we used cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus.

Wash, drain and cut to size.  For the asparagus I just broke off the ends.

Sometimes I like to marinate the veggies prior to grilling, and that is what I did with the cauliflower and broccoli.  I just mixed up some regular olive oil along with some Tuscan Herb olive oil, some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.  Place the cauliflower, broccoli and oil mixture into a ziplock bag and let it sit on the counter for about 30-60 minutes before grilling.

The asparagus was just drizzled with olive oil, seasoned pepper blend and salt before going into the grill basket.

For grilling set BBQ to a medium heat.  Place the basket on the grill and pop in the seasoned veggies.

    We love grill season and along with grilling our meat we really enjoy doing the veggies too. We have a grill pan like yours and besides grilling the vegetables we also do stir fries. They are so yummy — there is a special taste when it’s done outside. And boy oh boy do we ever like the flavored olive oils.OMG they have so many delicious flavors!! I don’t know which one I like best.
