Grilled Vegetables like never before

We love to grill here in the sparkles n sprouts house. As I am sure you have seen we grill everything from burgers, to pork to fish….but these grilled veggies are a new favorite.

Grilled Vegetables, Really?

OK, I know what your asking. Veggies are really a favorite? YES, these veggies are loaded with so much flavor they are a new favorite for sure.

Not only are they loaded with flavor but they are also not so bad for you either. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Loaded with flavor, Really?

Yes! That is the short answer…these veggies are loaded with TONS & TONS of flavor.

So where does it all come from?

First it comes from the veggies themselves. I used veggies that have tons of flavor, and I knew grilling them would only add flavor. The Brussel Sprouts, peppers & onions all get a little sweet when you grill them and the little bit of char adds another layer of flavor. I also added in some olive oil, salt pepper and garlic powder just to help everything come together.

Why grill vegetables?

I don’t know about where you live but it is HOT here. Heat indexes in the 100’s and sunny, sunny, sunny…and I don’t want to heat the house up with the oven.

I also love to heat up the grill because that means The Hubby is in charge, and I can sit back a little. It’s almost like have the night off, except for the cleaning-up, and serving and making the sauce….like I said almost a night off.

What if I don’t like Brussels Sprouts?

As you know The Hubby has not been a fan of these cute little green bundles, but he has become a fan and these grilled versions definitely helped. But if they are not an option for you or your family you can use really any combo of veggies you like.

You could use broccoli, summer squash, zucchini, peppers, onions, eggplant or maybe some green beans. Use whatever looks the best in your local produce area or at the farmers market. The possibilities are endless…ENDLESS!!

Whatever veggies you choose I know this dish will becomes a favorite for you and your family.
