How to Make Grilled Vegetables

This recipe is ideal for having a complete meal in just a few minutes. Have a tasty dinner bursting with flavor even on busy weeknights!

Thickness of Slices: It is best to keep your vegetables in slices that are relatively the same thickness. This will make sure that they all cook evenly and some do not cook faster than others.Vegetables Too Dry: Let your vegetables marinate for at least an hour to prevent them from becoming dry when grilled. This gives oil-based marinades time to really sink into the vegetables.Sweetness: Grilling vegetables brings out their natural sugars, so if you don’t want them to be too sweet, you can use extra marinade or seasoning to counteract this.Grill or Stovetop: These grilled vegetables can be cooked on a gas or charcoal grill as well as in a skillet on the stove for a delicious year-round meal. Other Vegetables: Add more variety to your veggie mix by grilling up others like potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and eggplant. I would avoid leafy greens as they tend to shrink when grilled.Flavor Enhancers: Customize and add flavor to your vegetables by topping them with lemon pepper and Italian seasonings. You can even add a sprinkle of parmesan or feta as a cheesy touch.Save Marinade: Save extra marinade to toss vegetables in after grilling. This gives them added flavor.

In the Refrigerator: Keep vegetables either tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days.In the Freezer: Store in an airtight container. Grilled vegetables will keep in the freezer for 8-12 months. There is no need to thaw when reheating.Reheating: To preserve their perfectly charred outside and tender inside, I like to reheat grilled vegetables in the oven for 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also reheat them in a skillet or in an air fryer for a few minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a super easy thing to have on hand for snacks or to add to other dishes in a snap.
