 Grilled Summer Vegetables
Grilled Summer Vegetables are so easy to make. Now that you are a grill master and can grill a perfect steak or chicken breast it is time to add some grilled summer vegetables to the menu.
Grilled vegetables can be eaten alongside any meat as a side dish or you can use these grilled summer vegetables to make a meal like this Grilled Vegetable Sandwich.
Grilled Vegetables without a grill
When I am making grilled vegetables I like to grill a big batch to eat with a grilled chicken breast.
Then the next day I will use the leftover grilled vegetables to make a grilled summer vegetable quesadilla.
I don't know if you can tell from the photo but I used a George Foreman Grill (affiliate link) to make my grilled summer vegetables.
I've become a master at grilling on the George Foreman Grill.
My husband bought this brand new grill at a garage sale for $5!
It is missing the stand so I put it on a small child's table when I am grilling on it.
If you love eating grilled food but hate to mess around with a gas or charcoal grill I urge you to buy one now.
I love cooking on this electric grill.
I use it at least once a week to make grilled chicken breast for dinner.
And when you season your meat with a Smokehouse Maple (affiliate link) or Mesquite seasoning (affiliate link) like I do you can't even tell you cooked on an electric grill.
Look at the awesome grill marks on my vegetables!Â
I have cooked everything on this grill from chicken breast to veggie burgers, sausage, shish kabobs, hot dogs, and corn on the cob. Anything I would cook on a traditional grill has been cooked on my George Forman Grill.

I wanted to love my George Foreman but man it just seemed like it dried everything out. There was no happy medium. I'm thinking of getting a grill / griddle pan for my stove that covers two burners and just go with that instead. It'll be the same pain to clean but at least I won't have to wait on my hubs to grill stuff outside.
