Simple Grilled Vegetables

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! I can’t say that the images of these Simple Grilled Vegetables are my favorite, in fact I will probably take new ones at some point in the future, but this post needed to go live before Valentine’s Day was over since they are part of the Dinner for Two that I started posting last week…..

With the restaurant sized portions of my Japanese Hibachi Steak and Salmon, Instant Pot Fried Rice, and Japanese Steakhouse Yum Yum Sauce a healthy dose of Simple Grilled Vegetables is a must!!

Having to remake this meal four times attempting to get the “perfect” image is not as bad as it sounds, this meal is amazing! And best of all, it is pretty easy to prepare as well. 🙂

Today we are here to talk about the Simple Grilled Vegetables. I used a Cast Iron Pizza Pan/Griddle Pan {affiliate link} on a very hot grill. I like my carrots and zucchini cut into half-circles like so…..

Heat your griddle pan inside your gas grill with all the burners turned to the highest heat. The temperature will over over 500 degrees, that’s what we want. Open the lid and squid olive oil on the pan…..

Carefully pour your chopped vegetables onto the heated pan, then toss with a spatula to coat with the oil…..

Season with sea salt and ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are thoroughly cooked. Remove from the grill and serve…..

You would think that after three previous attempts, I would have remembered to preheat the griddle pan first! Oh well, these Simple Grilled Vegetables usually have a nice char to the edges from the hot pan. If your kids will not eat anything that looks burnt, do what I did this last time and skip the preheating, LOL

Either way, they are really delicious!

Notes:

• If it is too cold to grill outside, cook them top of the stove.
• I left the onions whole while they were cooking so they would not burn, then sliced them before serving.

If you don’t like onions or mushrooms, check out these Sauteed Zucchini and Carrots…..

That’s the color I was going for^^^

Looking for an even easier vegetable? Then these Simple Roasted Carrots are perfect for you…..

Can you tell how much I like carrots?

Enjoy!!
