Looking for something to keep the barbecue season longer? I hope that the vegetarian concept you think of is slightly different from salad, corn on the cob and salad?
As the weather turns cooler, it is still a good time to keep the barbecue convenient and enjoy a socially distancing dinner with family and friends on the porch or terrace. This time of year is a good time to add vegetables to the grill and give them some charcoal and different flavors. In addition to your favorite protein choice, roasted vegetables are also a great way to taste vegetables.
If you are worried about whether vegetables (especially thinly sliced ​​vegetables) will fall on the grill, and you don’t have a special grill, please don’t let this stop you. Go to the kitchen and pull out the baking cooling rack. Just brush it with a little oil and put it on the grill. Its small spacing holds those vegetables in place.
You can still find sweet corn, zucchini and squash, tomatoes, eggplants and carrots at the farmers’ markets and fresh produce stalls. These vegetables and fruits (if you remember the tomato lesson a few weeks ago) are still in peak season, fresh and nutritious.
The tomatoes ripen in the hot summer sun and are now full of flavor. They can certainly stand on their own, but it is also a great addition to grilled vegetable dishes, where the juicy tomato bite makes the other products that share the dish more balanced. We have a simple roasted tomato recipe that can be paired with roasted fish and chicken. You can also cut these tomatoes into salsa.
What about roasted onions when we are talking about a vegetable that can be eaten by itself? In this recipe, you wrap sweet Vidalia onions in foil with a lot of butter, then place them on the grill to soften and sweeten them. It takes about an hour for onions to reach perfection, so plan to start onions in ample time. In addition to grilled steak or pork chops, there is also a delicious side.
Sweet corn remains in its own state for several weeks. Roast some ears and make a salad with sweet and rich honey-lime seasoning to make it jazz.
If squash and zucchini were not mentioned at least, what would be the vegetable story of late summer? We will not only mention it, but also mention it twice in two barbecue recipes, which turns the bane of many gardeners into barbecue side dishes, which will make you think twice, just to bake another batch of zucchini bread or secretly Sprinkle the vegetables on your neighbor’s bent over. Spoiler alert: By this time of summer, we all know who you are!
Finally, for all the grill masters who plan a large meat menu there, we recommend that you try some meat-free menus so that your family and guests will not miss the red protein. This grilled eggplant parmesan recipe will make your meals meatless and satisfying. Colorful, bright and delicious, it is a great choice for dinner. We also like the grilled cauliflower steak recipe. The roasted onions we mentioned above will be the perfect partner for this main dish.
