Healthy BBQ - Grilled Veggies

BBQs aren't just about hot dogs and hamburgers - oh no. When you start grilling veggies, your BBQ options become endless.

Here are some tips for grilling vegetables:

  • First off you've got to get yourself a Stainless Steel Grill Wok Topper like this one ($24.99). It prevents smaller foods like shrimp and chopped veggies from falling through the grate onto the coals or gas.
  • Cut up your favorite fresh vegetables. I love red, green, yellow, and orange peppers, carrots, zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, Vidalia onions, and broccoli. But cut slightly larger pieces than you usually do, because grilling makes them shrink a little.
  • Brush your veggies with olive oil (for flavor and to prevent them from sticking to the metal) and sprinkle them with rosemary, minced garlic, salt and pepper, then place them on the grill.
  • Shake or stir them quite often, and watch them closely since they don't take very long to cook.
  • When they're ready, pour them onto a plate and serve. They're delicious to eat plain with the rest of your BBQ food, or you can top them on your burgers or hot dogs.

Fit's Tips: Vary the flavor of your grilled vegetables and experiment with different sauces, herbs and spices. Sometimes I'm in the mood for adding fresh grated ginger and lemon juice. Other days I'm into adding hot sauce - it's great for clearing the sinuses when my allergies are really bad.

    A friend got one of these at her bridal shower last weekend, so I've been really excited to get my own. Grilled veggies are the best!

    hey, don't forget, you can do it with skewers which is what we do at my house! veggie kabobs! sometimes with shrimp, sometimes just veggies, but all we did was brush with olive oil and grill!

    My man and I have already started BBQ-ing at least once a week during nice weather, and summertime definitely ups the frequency 5 fold! He just got kebob skewers after a recent conversation about grilling veggies. YUM!

    We usually just use the skewers, but that stainless steel grill wok topper looks pretty cool!
