Grilling vegetables

[Mrs. Chipotle]

What vegetables do you grill most often? I'll confess that we're in a rut.

We do a lot of corn, and sometimes potatoes, or zucchini. Once recently we grilled pineapple.

We usually do white potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, corn, mushrooms, eggplant, peppers, broccoli and cauliflower, squash, asparagus, pineapple, nectarines, peaches, lemon and orange slices.

I love grilled vegetables; they taste so much better over charcoal. Can't explain it, but it is tasty.

I am not too adventurous either. We grill a lot of corn, also potatoes. I saw grilled peaches on Boy Meets Grill one time and have been wanting to try that. I bet they would be tasty alongside some ice cream.

all of the above, plus onions. oh my heavens, grilled onions are so fantastic.

Mmmm, grilled onions. Just yesterday I had some sauteed corn that had grilled onions in it. YUM! I fully intend on trying that at home.

I grill corn on the cob in the husks. Also grill green and yellow squash and potatoes that have been marinated in Italian salad dressing for an hour.

Another recipe I make is red skin potatoes wedges that have been coated lightly with olive oil and then sprinkled with Old Bay Seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend). The olive oil keeps the seasoning on the potatoes. You could skip that, and season after cooking by simply sprinkling the seasoning on.

Never have grilled onions though. I bake them with pot roasts and love the taste they get from the beef. Love them onions, and use them in almost every meal.

Do you season the onions with anything before grilling them?

[TexasRose]

I love grilled corn, but I have an issue with it.

Most of the time, people advise to season it in the husks before grilling. But I have a hard time with this. If I pull back the husks to get the seasoning on there, it's hard to put it back on.

Or am I just cornhusk-challenged?

[muffinman]

I don't season corn before grilling. I just grill it, and butter it after opening the husk. Nice sweet corn that's available right now doesn't need seasoning it's so delicious. I agree that you can't sew the husk back together after opening it.

Grilled onions are the best!!!
The Lowe's near my house has a food vendor right outside the exit. They are always grilling onions and when you come out, that is all you smell. Of course, they probably do more sales just because the smell of grilling onions than if they didnt grill them. It if was just hotdogs with chopped onions, they probably wouldnt sell as much.
