Grilled vegetables are our go-to easy side dishes in the summer! Here are some of our other favorites: Peppers and onions are one of Alex and my absolutely favorite things to throw on the grill for summer meals. But we didn’t write down the recipe, until now! Here’s how to make this treat pairs well with all the grilled dinner ideas, be it salmon, shrimp, tacos or portobello burgers.
3 bell peppers: we like using multi-colored for a splash of color Red onion Olive oil Kosher salt
Make sure to preheat the grill basket on the grill! Slice the peppers and onion into thick strips: about 1 ½ inches thick. Mix with olive oil to coat and salt. Grill about 10 to 15 minutes, until the veggies are charred and tender. Toss them a few times to ensure even cooking. That’s it!
Fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half and prick several holes in it with a fork. Fold up a 1-inch rim around the edge to make a makeshift tray. This isn’t required, but it’s helpful to keep all the veggies in the tray. Then you can use it like you would a grill basket!
Cumin and lime. Add a hint of cumin before grilling (¼ teaspoon), then spritz with fresh lime juice. Taco seasoning or fajita seasoning. Make them fit for a Mexican-style feast. Cajun seasoning. Love heat? Sprinkle with a little Cajun seasoning before or after grilling. Old Bay. Add big flavor with a little shake of Old Bay seasoning.
Grilled fish. Go for Grilled Salmon or Grilled Halibut. Grilled shrimp. Try Grilled Shrimp, Cajun Shrimp, Blackened Shrimp, Grilled Scallops, or Grilled Shrimp Tacos (perhaps adding some of the Mexican-style seasonings listed above). Use as a taco filling. Add refried beans and grilled peppers to a tortilla, and you’ve got quick vegetarian tacos.
