World's Easiest Grilled Vegetables (How to Cook Vegetables on the Grill)
These are the ultra-easy grilled vegetables I make over and over all summer long. Keep these veggies on hand and whenever you’re cooking on the grill you’ve got a perfect side dish that’s low-carb, Keto, low-glycemic, gluten-free, dairy-free, South Beach Diet friendly, and can even be Paleo or Whole 30!
INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchinis
1 large sweet onion (I used Vidalia onion)
1 large red bell pepper (See below for other vegetable combinations. You need about 4 cups of cut-up vegetables.)
1/2 cup Italian Salad Dressing (I like Newman’s Own Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing for this, be sure to use a dressing with oil as the first ingredient.)
pinch of dried herbs such as thyme, oregano, ground fennel, or dried basil (optional; I rarely add herbs)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to season vegetables after grilling
DIRECTIONS
- Cut ends off the zucchini, then cut in half lengthwise and cut into slices not quite 2 inches thick.
- Peel onion, cut off ends, cut in half, then break apart into individual layers and cut each one into same-size pieces.
- Cut red bell pepper in half, cut out seeds and stem, and cut into pieces the same size as the onion and zucchini.
- Put the vegetables into Ziploc bag or plastic container with tight-fitting lid, choosing the smallest size you can to fit all the vegetables so they get well coated with the marinade.
- Pour in enough dressing to coat the vegetables, about 1/2 cup. Add dried herbs if desired, then close the bag or container and marinate in the fridge for 4-6 hours (or all day is fine if you’re at work.)
- When you’re ready to cook vegetables, put the grill pan on the grill grate and preheat grill (and pan) to medium-high heat. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.)
- Drain vegetables into a colander placed in the sink and let dressing drain off while you preheat the grill. (This is very important to prevent flare-ups when you add the vegetables to the grill pan.)
