Grilled Veggies Extraordinaire!
It is nearly unimaginable to me that I have gone through my entire adult life–until last week–before becoming familiar with this divine, easy, and healthy method of cooking up a bunch of vegetables all at once–and having them come out as a side dish to any meal that a 5-star chef would be proud of! Where have I been hiding? Well, it’s never too late and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I now do!
Ingredients:
- any and all veggies that you round up: zucchini, peppers (red and yellow), cauliflower, mushrooms, eggplant, broccoli, purple onion, green beans — don’t hold back!
- olive oil
- good quality balsamic vinaigrette (I use fig vinaigrette–it’s sweet flavor adds a surprise zip to the marinade)
- a small pinch of salt and a hearty pinch of black pepper
To prepare:
1. cut veggies into bite size pieces, and place into large bowl
2. add enough olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette to please your palate, and to coat the veggies uniformly
3. add the salt and pepper; mix it all up well
4. place the veggies into one of those grill pans intended for small pieces of food (see photo)
5. cook for 15 minutes on medium flame on the BBQ, stirring every 5 minutes
6. Enjoy the most delish, crunchy, healthy, aromatic, and simply marvelous veggies you have ever eaten!

Hi Robin,
When I met my husband, he turned me on to grilled veggies and they are awesome! He seasons also with oregano, basil, garlic powder and rosemary….we also like to include sliced parsnips,, carrots and turnips on occassion.
Thanks Lori,
There are so many variations for this recipe….the spices, mix of veggies, etc. I’m glad you like this dish also!
