24 Vegetarian Grilling Ideas

It's safe to say that grilling is associated with meat, but nothing can replace the flavor that a good char brings out of fresh vegetables. These recipes are perfect for a summer barbecue and, to top it off, most can either be a side or main dish.

Peaches with Whipped Cream & Caramel

Portobellos With Pesto, Tomatoes & Feta

Grilled Falafel

“Falafel can be a hit or miss with me. This recipe was delicious! It was lovely with rich flavors, and I loved the crunchy breadcrumbs on the outside. It’s easy to make, and a nice alternative to a meat-packed dinner!”

Grilled "baked" Potatoes

"My husband is very, very picky about his baked potatoes. He doesn't like microwaved or parboiled potatoes. When I fixed this, he loved it. I will definitely be making these on the grill again."

Grilled Vegetables

Veggie Sandwich

-DianaEatingRichly

Portabella Mushrooms

“I threw these on the grill after cooking some rib-eyes, and boy were they good! I hadn't thought of using thyme, but it complimented the earthy flavor of the portobellos. I cut the mushrooms in 8 pieces each and skewered them for kabobs, after covering them in herbs and spices. Very yummy and easy to make!”

-Aaron O.

Balsamic Asparagus

"Fantastic flavor! I put the leftover marinade in a small pan over the stove and reduced to a sauce to drizzle over the asparagus just before serving!”

-Starrynews

Grilled Potatoes

“These were really easy and extremely tasty! I liked that we could have these prepped ahead of time and ready to go.”

-Dr. Jenny

Yellow Squash & Zucchini

"One thing I’ve learned about summer squash is that it helps to allow it to weep. It makes the squash not so soggy! Spread the slices on paper towel and salt both sides. Allow it to secrete moisture for a half hour. This is a must for eggplant. What a good dish!”

-Sharon S.

Orange-Glazed Grilled Pineapple

“Yummy! I made these as a side dish for grilled salmon. I prepared everything about an hour early, and let the pineapple slices sit in the marinade until grilling time. Next time, I'll serve them as a dessert with vanilla ice cream and a little extra marinade poured on top!”

-Kathy

Southwest Grilled Avocados

“This was a super avocado recipe, and a great way to incorporate some protein. I loved it and will probably make it during the winter in the oven as well.”

-MarraMamba

Grilled Flatbread

“This dough is delicious and super easy to make. I will be keeping this recipe and passing it on. I doubled it and added two teaspoons of honey to make flatbread pizzas. Delicious!”

-Chastity R.

Cambodian Grilled Corn

“So good! This was just like the corn you buy off the street vendors in Cambodia!”

-Manila

Zucchini, Onions & Red Peppers

“This was simply outstanding. We just loved roasted vegetables. I was not successful in keeping the onions intact, so they went into the grill basket. The zucchini and peppers were cooked directly on the grill!”

-GibbyLou

Marinade for Grilled Vegetables

“What a great veggie marinade! I used yellow squash, zucchini, onion, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, orange bell peppers and vidalia onions. Delicious! I found that the yellow squash and zucchini really soaked up the flavor.”
