In reply to Scott. Let me know how it goes. I love a "cabbage cannon ball". I don't know many folks that do it. The outer leaves are great for a bun substitute but the inner guts (where the butter and rub melt into) are to die for. We all like corn, zucc's and asparagus but this is a hidden gem. :)

In reply to Gary. Cabbage! You are the first to mention that one. My wife is gluten intolerant--I'm looking forward to trying your suggestion next time we grill something that needs a bun. Thanks.

Cabbage, the whole head. I think they call it a cannon ball. Cut out the core, fill with butter and top with favorite bbq seasonings. Wrap the head in foil and cook indirect for a few hours until soft. This makes a great substitute for the bun with anything:brisket,pulled pork, hamburgers, brats pretty much anything.

Simple asparagus, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.. Start by sauté them in the oil just before soft then grill them assigning the salt as you rotate them.. Ummm great!

Asparagus is my favorite vegetable to grill, and about my favorite seasoning with it is bacon.

In reply to Ronda. Ronda, corn on the cob definitely has to be one of my favorites. Glad you started trying to grill potatoes! I love both of those. I've been really working on cutting down my carbs, so while I'll still do both of these and limit the portions, I am looking forward to continuing to try many other vegetables on the grill.

In reply to Liz. Mmmm, that sounds delicious, Liz. I'll definitely have to try this. It's been a while since I've used my grill basket. I think it's time to bring it back out and try some vegetable mixes like this.

In reply to Rick. Rick, LOL. I think that's a great way to put it. Grilled vegetables on a grilled pizza is a delicious way to go.

In reply to Tom Wicheta. Tom, great tips. I also like to do a medley of vegetables. The color and variety taste make for a great dish. Olive oil and salt and pepper seems to be a pretty standard way of grilling veggies.

In reply to Steve. Steve, I agree. I'm guessing that a lot of kids that wouldn't eat veggies normally will try them when they are off the grill.

In reply to Cindy. I do love corn on the cob on the grill. My garden is getting close to have fresh corn ready. Looking forward to it! I haven't used Mrs. Dash much, so that is a great tip for me to try! Thanks, Cindy.

I love to grill corn on the cob (still in husk) after soaking. I love the smokey flavor the corn has. Lately, because of you, I love grilling potatoes……so good.

Red bell pepper sliced, mushrooms halved (I use portabella), red onion sliced, broccoli florets fresh, garlic cloves (roughly chopped).
Place in a bowl and season with Penzeys Arizona Dreaming southwest spices(or any southwest spice mix), liberal use of Penzeys 4S seasoning salt. Drizzle with olive oil and mix well. Heat your grill to high, place veggies in a grill basket and grill for about 10 minutes, mixing with your grill tongs frequently, until mushrooms are soft and broccoli is crisp and very green. Serve hot off the grill.

Best veggies on a grill. PIZZA! Well not really a veggie but you can’t grill a pizza without putting most every veggie in the garden patch on it.

I like to grill asparagus, baby carrots, zucchini, and red and green bell peppers. I first of all put them in a plastic bag, then a little olive oil, and lemon pepper. Have them cut up into strips or chunks, except the baby carrots. Grill them until some nice marks on them, and they are a little soft.
Usually, we just do one vegetable, but sometimes, they all go in at once.
On the zucchini, it depends on the size. Smaller zucchini I will cut in half. If large, cut into thirds or quarter it. Again, olive oil, then a little salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Grill the same as the other vegetables.

I love grilling all vegetables from corn in the husk to a melody of mixed vegetables in those foil with holes. I just use olive of oil with salt and pepper. My family loves them even the kids eat zuccini when i grill them.

I cook carrots or any veggie the following way.
Soak veggies in water.
Add seasoning
Make a pouch out of tin foil.
Add enough water to coat the bottom about an eighth of an inch
Close foil leaving a little room for steam.
Cook for an hour in coals. Ensure steam seeping from foil
When done, add butter. Close add wait five minutes

My favorite to grill is corn on the cob (in the husk), probably my second fave is zucchini, sliced thick like a burger, drizzled with olive oil and seasoning, then cooked like a burger on the grill. My “go to” seasoning for the grill is Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, which allows me to keep the sodium levels low, but the flavor dialed up.
