This easy grilled side dish is so full of flavor and ready in about 30 minutes. The best part of the recipe is how easily it can be customized to your family’s favorite veggies. I like to serve this with an Ultimate Tomahawk Steak, some Mexican Grilled Corn, and a Classic Caprese Salad.
I grew up on overcooked, flavorless, canned vegetables. And I hated them. To this day, I still marvel at how delicious grilled or roasted fresh veggies can be and how much I adore them. I can (and have quite often) eaten a plate of grilled vegetables as a meal. So good.
Grilling or roasting vegetables seems to concentrate the flavors, bring out their sweetness, and maintains a tender-crisp texture. By playing with different herbs, spices, and oils, you can change the flavor profiles a bit and keep the vegetables interesting.
My latest favorite is coating vegetables in olive oil, a bit of balsamic vinegar to bring out their sweetness, tons of garlic, and fresh rosemary for amazing flavor.
Use your favorite vegetables – zucchini, squash, cauliflower, eggplant, onions, bell peppers. Experiment and enjoy the process. Then add the flavors. If you only have frozen vegetables, what is the best way to cook your frozen vegetables? In that article, they discuss some tips and tricks for doing so, and I fully agree.
