Ingredients
- Vegetables of choice – Asparagus, Bell Peppers, Broccolini, Cauliflower & Broccoli, Corn, Eggplant, Lettuce & Cabbage, Mushrooms, Onions, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Zucchini & Summer Squash, etc.
- Avocado oil, or other neutral, high smoke point oil of choice
- kosher salt & ground black pepper, to season
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Ideal grill temperatures for grilled vegetables vary, though medium-high direct heat grilling, 450-500 degrees F, is typically a safe bet. Be sure to reference the blog post, above, for ideal grill temperatures by vegetable.
- Prep the vegetables: Wash, trim, & slice the veggies for grilling. Place the vegetables on a small baking sheet or in a large bowl/on a large plate. Drizzle with just enough avocado oil to coat. Season generously with kosher salt & ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Refer to the blog post, above, for specific grilled vegetable prep instructions, tips, & seasoning ideas.
- Grill the vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill. For long, thin vegetables, like asparagus or broccolini, it’s best to place them on the grill such that they’re positioned perpendicular to the grill grates, which prevents them from slipping through as they grill or as you handle them. Grill 3-8 minutes per side, until tender & charred as desired. Vegetable grill times vary based on the what you’re grilling; refer to the blog post for specific vegetable grill times & other grilling instructions.
