Grilled vegetables are almost universally loved and are easy to prepare with little clean-up. Produce best suited for grilling will be firm and have a low water content (such as peppers, onions, asparagus, and mushrooms among others).
Tomatoes are one of the few high water content veggies that do well on the grill. Try combining your favorite flavors and mixing up marinades for a variety of different dishes. Here are two of my grilled veggie favorites:

Grilled Asparagus
Grilling brings out the best in fresh, tender asparagus.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh asparagus
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Instructions
- Wash asparagus and snap tough ends off.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and marinate for 10 minutes.
- In order to keep the tips from burning, place a piece of foil under just the tip ends of the asparagus on the grill. Grill until tender, turning regularly, and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe can also be cooked under a broiler, but reverse the foil to placing it on top of the tips instead of underneath.
