Need a quick vegetable side? This Grilled Vegetable Medley is the way to go!
I’m one of those people who gets excited shopping for vegetables, and for a knockout vegetable dish like this GRILLED VEGETABLE MEDLEY, it’s especially enjoyable.
Here’s are some things I consider every time I make this recipe that never fails to impress:
Using fresh, fully ripened vegetables is the key to memorable flavours. Ideally, you’ll make this in the height of the summer growing season when locally grown organic vegetables are available.
Having a variety of colours makes this dish appetizing and visually appealing, as does an assortment of shapes, whether that comes from the veggies themselves or the way you cut them.
Grilling on a barbecue preheated to 450°F works best; the vegetables cook evenly and get those lovely grill marks without being overdone. Always make sure you bring your grill to temperature and clean the surface well before you begin just to make sure there are no bits leftover from previous use.
This is a recipe where I encourage you to try grilling vegetables you may not normally consider. I’ve had surprisingly delicious results with everything from kohlrabi, zucchini and carrot to radicchio, fennel and artichokes. After all, variety is the spice of life!
Finally, a reminder that this GRILLED VEGETABLE MEDLEY isn’t solely a side dish, but rather something you can keep in mind as an awesome vegetarian main. Serve it with a fruit and nut-tossed quinoa, garlic buttered noodles or saffron flavoured couscous. Tasty every way!
