Best Grilled Vegetables

  • It’s easy to learn how to grill vegetables once you get the hang of it! This recipe only has 3 veggies, but the possibilities are endless!
  • Cook grilled vegetables loose on the grill, or skewer them into kabobs for a fun presentation!
  • Make the whole meal at once and grill some chicken, burgers, or chops at the same time. Try them with some grilled striploin steak or grilled chicken cordon bleu.

Ingredients And Variations

VEGGIES: Mushrooms, asparagus, and thick rounds of zucchini are just the basics of this recipe! Experiment with other low-carb veggies like colorful bell peppers, halved brussels sprouts, and wedges of sweet red onions! They will all have that sweet, smoky grilled look and flavor!

MARINADE: A good marinade has an oil and an acid. Experiment with different oils (chile oil, sesame oil, even bacon grease), and an acid (orange juice, grapefruit juice, red wine vinegar) to create your own signature blend! Other spices to use are Italian seasoning, a garlic herb seasoning or some low carb blackening seasoning.

Best Vegetables to Grill

Low-carb veggies that are perfect on the grill are mushrooms, onions, brussels sprouts, and squash like zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, eggplant, and tomatoes.

How To Grill Vegetables

Marinate prepared vegetables for at least 30 minutes. PRO TIP: Use a large zippered bag and avoid washing a dish! Grill 7-12 minutes or until veggies are slightly charred. A grill pan is perfect for veggies so they don’t slip through the grates! Sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese before serving, if you like!

Tips For Success!

Cut pieces to uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate. Keep cooked portions warm wrapped in foil on a cooler part of the grill or in the oven. Broil all the cooked vegetables on a sheet pan or in the air fryer to get them extra crispy before serving.

If making kabobs, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using so they don’t catch fire on the grill!

Equipment

Grill
Mixing Bowls
Mixing Bowls or zippered bag
Wood Skewers
Skewers or grill basket

Ingredients  

  • 8 ounces large mushrooms brown or white
  • 1 small bunch asparagus trimmed
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced ½-inch thick

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pinch kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 pinch pepper or to taste

Instructions 

  • Toss vegetables with the marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip bag. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium high.
  • Add the vegetables to the grill and cook 7-12 minutes turning occasionally and removing vegetables to a plate as they are cooked.

Notes

  • You may use a zip bag to marinate veggies instead of a bowl. 
  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking, especially if using a skewer or basket. 
  • Use a grill basket to prevent veggies from slipping through the grates.
  • If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent charring or catching fire.
  • As you remove the cooked vegetables, wrap them in foil to keep them warm. Just before serving, pop the open wrap back on the grill or under a broiler to reheat and crisp up the edges.
  • Veggies will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Reheat in a foil wrap, or use leftovers in other recipes.
