Quick Dinner: Grilled Vegetables Recipe

My favorite way of consuming vegetables is either to grill them or stir fries with meats.

However lately, I had noticed that stir fry vegetables is becoming a boring recipe that does not look appetizing to me nor my kids either.

Later, I tried a different approach to cook vegetables which had turned out a blessing in disguise.

Yes, grill them !

Most of the time I would grill meats but this time I am going to grill the vegetables instead.

Do you know that grilling vegetables is similar to grilling meats over the grill?

I simply llove the sweet and tasty flavor over the BBQ grill.

These vegetables are crunchy, crisp and cooked of course!

However, not all vegetables are applicable to grilling method.

For example leafy vegetables such as spinach, mustard greens and lettuce are not suitable at all.

You should try those hard texture vegetables such as asparagus, corn cobs, sweet corns, carrots, potatoes which are able to penetrate the heat into the flesh and cook easily without using oil but butter.

These are the vegetables that I had tried out during the weekend Grilling food even though we didn’t had any parties.

You gotta try these:

#Brinjals/egggplants

Simply awesome purplish vegetable with a soft white texture.

Cut the eggplants into halves and then lengthways.

Then, brush with some marinade sauce and grill over high heat or in the oven.

It takes just 15 minutes for the eggplant to cook throughly.

# Root vegetables

Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes , red bell pepper, zucchini, pumpkins or squash.

It will take approximately 30min to cook and browned but you will need to turn over the uncook side in every 10min.
