How to Grill Vegetables – WellPlated.com
The grill gets plenty of attention for burgers, steaks, and chicken, but don’t sleep on the vegetables! Grilling vegetables adds fabulous flavor, with smoky, caramelized notes and crispy edges. So delish!
My guide to perfect grilled vegetables!
With all due respect to Grilled Salmon and Grilled Chicken Breast, I think my very favorite thing to grill isn’t a meat at all—it’s vegetables!
You know how roasting transforms veggies and makes them irresistible? Grilling does the same thing, mellowing any sharpness, caramelizing their natural sugars, and making edges and ends crispy. But the grill goes above and beyond the oven because it also adds smoky, charred flavor.
There’s a little bit of a learning curve involved so your veggies don’t fall through the grates, get stuck, or burn before they’re even tender. But once you master the tricks of the trade, you’re golden.
The Basic Rules for Grilling Vegetables
Here are my best tips for no-fail grilling:
Start with Dry Vegetables
After washing your vegetables, dry them well. Excess water creates steam, and steam means sad, mushy veggies (womp womp). Drying them is key to getting a nice char and crispy bits.
Don’t Skimp on the Oil
Okay, you don’t want a TON of oil, which will drip onto the flame and cause flare-ups. But don’t go too light on it either. The vegetables should be well-coated to keep them from sticking to the grill grates.
Cut Into Even Pieces
Uniform pieces cook at the same rate, which means they’ll all be done at the same time. If some pieces are much smaller than others, you’ll end up with a mix of burnt and undercooked vegetables.
Use Two Heat Zones
If you’re grilling a few different varieties of vegetables, it helps to have a hot side and a cooler side for your grill. Start sturdier vegetables like potatoes over higher heat to build color, then move them to the cooler side if they need extra time to finish cooking. More delicate vegetables, like asparagus, benefit from gentler heat from the start.
Season Twice
I always salt the vegetables before grilling because this draws out excess moisture and improves their texture, then after grilling, I add the rest of my seasonings: things like a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, herbs, grated Parmesan, etc. Spices like chili powder and cumin are also best added before grilling.
Understand That Vegetables Don’t All Grill the Same
Different vegetables have different amounts of moisture, sugar, and density, and this changes the grilling method:
- Dense vegetables like potatoes need more cooking time.
- Delicate vegetables like asparagus cook in just a few minutes.
- Mushrooms shrink as they cook.
- Zucchini and other summer squash cook quickly and benefit from high heat to avoid becoming watery.
Grilled Vegetable Recipes to Master
Grilled Cauliflower Steaks
Thick slices of cauliflower become beautifully caramelized on the outside while staying tender inside. They’re hearty enough to serve as a vegetarian main course or alongside grilled meats.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Large portobello mushrooms absorb marinades exceptionally well and become rich, savory, and almost meaty after a few minutes on the grill. They’re perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or serving whole.

Grilled Vegetables
If you’re cooking for a crowd, a colorful platter of mixed grilled vegetables is hard to beat. Combining several vegetables gives everyone something they’ll love and creates an impressive centerpiece for any barbecue.
Check out this recipe
Grilled Corn Recipe
Few summer foods are as satisfying as sweet corn fresh off the grill. The kernels become sweeter as they cook, while the grill adds subtle smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with butter, herbs, or a sprinkle of cheese.
Check out this recipe
Grilled Zucchini with Parmesan and Herbs
Zucchini cooks quickly and develops lightly charred edges while staying tender inside. The key is giving each piece enough room on the grill so it browns instead of steaming.
Check out this recipe
Grilled Potatoes
Potatoes take a little more patience than most vegetables, but they’re well worth it. Crispy edges, creamy centers, and smoky flavor make them one of the most satisfying grilled side dishes.
Check out this recipe
Grilled Asparagus
Asparagus is one of the fastest vegetables you can grill. Just a few minutes over the heat gives it crisp-tender texture and subtle char while preserving its fresh flavor.

7.24 Friday Faves – The Fitnessista
Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re enjoying some pool time after lots of rain this week, the Pilot is home (wahoo!), and we have an NCL event. I hope that you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead! When do your kiddos go back to school? We have a little over a week left and I can’t even believe it. Liv is going to be in HIGH SCHOOL. How?!
(this week’s gorgeous flowers from Trader Joe’s. The whole bouquet was only $15 to put together.)
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.
7.24 Friday Faves
Fashion, beauty, random:
A trip to Orlando! We headed to Orlando last weekend to visit our friends who live in Sevilla. They’re in Florida for the month, so it was our only chance to meet up with them before school starts. The crazy thing about pilot family life is that you can decide to take a trip at the very last minute if there’s availability. We went back and forth on options and figured out we could make it happen maybe 36 hours before landing in Orlando.
(so grateful our kiddos picked each other as best buddy soulmates when they were 2 1/2 years old)
Whenever we see them, we pick up where we left off, and the girls had the BEST time together. We stayed at a hotel with an awesome pool and lazy river, did a day at Epcot, Disney Springs, dinner at Medieval Times, and just enjoyed hanging out together. It was a 5 day trip and we packed so much fun into that time; it was perfect.
Worth mentioning here that Epcot was a BLAST. We haven’t gone in years since we usually opt for Animal Kingdom or Disney World, but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, rides (Test Track and Ratatouille were amazing and the kids were obsessed with Figment), and the slower pace. It didn’t feel as busy or chaotic as the other parks, and the fireworks show was incredible.
Also, for my gluten-free friends, I have two 10/10 meal recommendations for you:
(since we booked this at the last minute, I didn’t have time to plan as well as I usually do, but I found this Instagram page and she has TONS of gf options!! I booked dining while I was lurking her page on the plane)
Chefs de France in Epcot. They were so knowledeable about gf options and brought gf bread to the table for me and P,
and the kids chocolate mousse was to diiiiieeee for.
The shaved ice in Japan is also gf and you need it. (With coconut creme on top!)
(LOLing at the fact that I put on press-on nails that lasted one day and I put them on upside down. I’m a professional as you can see)
My other rec is Sunny House on the Lake in Disney Springs. SO many of their menu options can be made gf, the vibe and food were fantastic. It was dark while we were eating but you get the idea with this GF CHEESY BREAD. AHHHHHHHH.
Loving this Xirena dress! True to size and the fabric quality is lovely.
NEW goodies from my friends at HigherDOSE! They sent me their new Healthy Hair Ritual set, including a dermal stamper, their new light-activated hair serum, and amaaaazing accupressure brush. You can stack the full routine with my favorite red light cap. Check out the new set here and use LIGHTACTIVED for a discount through tomorrow!
Read, watch, listen:
I’ve watched this way too many times.
Finished this book (devoured it on the plane) and getting into this one.
What’s your policy on bad language?? We are hard nos on it around here even though I admitedly let an F bomb slip every now and again lol.
Don’t forget to check out my roundup of Nordstrom Sale faves here!
An excellent podcast episode with two of my faves.
Fitness, health, and good eats:
The return of the famous Jennifer Aniston salad. For soccer practice nights, I’ll usually make something in advance that I can eat while P is playing. I’m eating at every single practice lol. For this one, I air fried some chicken thighs and chopped them up and served with a side of pineaple. So easy, so good, and leftovers are amazing for lunch the next day.
You don’t have to strength train a ton to see benefits.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!
xoxo
