The best veggies for grilling ?

[Ummagumma]

Been experimenting with different vegetables on the grill, so far I'd say I really like how the bell peppers come out, need to work on my zucchini, but potatoes are better baked and the corn is still better boiled - at least compared to how I grill them.

What other veggies do you like to grill ? Any favorites ?

What are you doing wrong to the corn? I refuse to eat boiled corn, it's horrible

Buy nice fresh corn in the husk. Throw corn on blazing kettle until one side is nearly completely charred, flip then cook roughly the same. Peel and eat.

Asparagus grilled on the medium low side. Finished with olive oil, pepper, salt, and Parmesan cheese

Sweet potatoes softened then quartered, seared on grill with kosher salt and lime zest

Medium to smallish tomatoes with red onion on a skewer

Corn with husk peeled back. Remove silk. Soak in water. Reapply husk as barrier. Place directly on medium heat.

Some of our common veggies:

Asparagus. Just oil, salt and pepper. When finished cooking, we add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Brussels sprouts (typically microwave for a short bit to pre-cook slightly, then oil, salt and pepper and skewered onto the grill). A sprinkle of balsamic vinegar when they're finished is good.

If cooking burgers, we'll often make "fries" on the grill too. Microwave whole potato for a minute or so, just until it starts to soften. Cut into thick wedges. Toss with oil, salt and pepper and onto the grill for some marks and to finish cooking.

A couple that haven't been mentioned... cauliflower, beets.

Actually it depends on the grill that's used, the distance to the heat source makes a huge difference on what can be cooked well.

Everything already mentioned is spot on. I also do whole russet potatoes to 200F IT indirect, then move then over to direct for a few min each side to crisp up the skins. 210F IT and they're done.

Edit: This simple grilled mushroom recipe is really good too: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/contest-winning-grilled-mushrooms

Wow, that takes grilled romaine hearts to a whole new level. Gotta try that!

 

[SteveKing]

Thanks for mentioning the grilled romaine. I used to do that a long while ago and it has just slipped through the cracks!

What veggies do you like to eat? Most veggies can be grilled...

I love getting button mushrooms, clean and quarter them if they are bigger than bite size, a little olive oil and some seasoning salt, and then throw them in a grill pan over direct heat until they start to char a little.

Zucchini, I slice into thick disks and quickly grill. I don't like them all mushy.

Slice onions into disks and grill until charred.

All of the above goes great with a steak...

Speaking of onion slices, here's a great technique for grilling them intact:

Reusable stainless steel turkey lacers, which can be had 6 for about a buck, are perfect for the job:

Trust me, it beats the hell out of the old toothpick method!

Quickly seared green onions are great. I am a huge eggplant can as well.

 

[Badjak]

Leek goes very well. Just let them blacken and peel of the outer layer.
Whole onions and potatoes in the ashes.
I have recently done gem squash and butternut and that worked well.
Eggplant (obviously)
Peppers
