As much as we may hate to admit it sometimes, an amazing cookout requires more than meat. Head to your local farmer’s market and pick some produce. Then, with the help of some Omaha Steaks seasonings<\/a>, get ready to learn how to grill great vegetables.<\/p>\n

Make this the summer you learn to prep, cook and serve delicious grilled veggies. It\u2019s not hard \u2014 in fact, it\u2019s strikingly easy, especially if you follow these simple rules.<\/p>\n

Choose Great Grillable Veggies<\/h2>\n

Onions, corn, bell peppers, asparagus, carrots, and more. The sky\u2019s the limit when it comes to your veggie-grilling options. Prep your selections by thoroughly washing them, then grouping like vegetables according to the time they take to cook and whether they grill up best over direct or indirect heat.<\/p>\n

Get Chopping & Skewering<\/h3>\n

Slice larger, denser veggies (summer squash, eggplant, cauliflower, etc.) into uniform pieces to ensure even heat distribution and consistent cook times. For smallish, softish veggies, like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes, skewering or using a roasting pan will do the trick. Just be sure to soak your skewers for 30 minutes before grilling so the wood doesn\u2019t burn.<\/p>\n

Oil, Oil, Oil<\/h3>\n

Unlike meat, veggies have no natural fat to prevent them from sticking to the grill as they cook. Liberally coat your veggies with olive oil before grilling to prevent this, and to encourage yum-inspiring grill marks. Marinating them for an hour prior to cooking works too (if you\u2019re feeling ambitious and prefer your veggies extra tasty).<\/p>\n

Another way to ensure super flavor is to add some spice. Add our\u00a0Seafood Rub with Lemon & Pepper<\/a> to your marinade for a citrus kick. Or, if you want to pretend your backyard is a lavender field in Provence, sprinkle on some of our Garlic and Herb Rub<\/a> for flavor flair.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Eye on the Grill<\/h3>\n

This is a no-brainer, but it\u2019s worth noting. Grilling vegetables, like grilling meat, requires diligence. Monitor your veggies for doneness, particularly those cooking over direct heat. If they start to look dry or a tad too crispy \u2014 move them aside to an indirectly heated portion of the grill or take \u2018em off entirely.<\/p>\n

Relish the Results<\/h3>\n

The grilling process causes the natural sugars in veggies to caramelize, adding a unique sweetness to their flavor that\u2019s hard to come by otherwise. Take a moment as you dig in to savor the, ahem, delicious fruits of your culinary labor.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let meat<\/a> have all the grilling fun this fall, expand your cookout repertoire by adding some veggies to the mix!<\/p>\n
