Roasting veggies on the grill
Dust off the grill its summertime! If you have a castiron skillet use it to cook your vegetables on the grill too. It'll give it a nice buttery, grilled taste while also creating a beautiful caramel color on the outside. Cook untill tender and serve on it own or with your choice of protein. We chose steaks to have with our grilled veggies 😋 it was very delicious and fun to cook on a summer day.

Grilling vegetables is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh produce, especially in the summer. What really elevates the flavor is using a cast iron skillet on your charcoal grill. The skillet helps to evenly distribute heat and retain the buttery flavors as they cook, creating a mouthwatering caramelized exterior on onions, green beans, and other veggies. I find that placing butter directly in the skillet as it heats up not only adds richness but also ensures the oil helps in cooking the beans to tender perfection without drying them out. When I prepare grilled veggies, I like to season them simply with salt and pepper, allowing the natural sweetness of the caramelized edges to shine. Cooking times vary depending on the vegetable—I usually start with onions because they take longer, followed by quicker-cooking green beans. Cooking until tender but still slightly crisp gives the best texture. Pairing these grilled veggies with a nicely seared steak turns a simple side into a hearty, satisfying meal perfect for summer evenings. Another tip is to keep the grill's temperature moderate to prevent burning the veggies while still getting those lovely grill marks. Combining the flavors of smoky charcoal and buttery vegetables cooked in a cast iron skillet creates an irresistible taste. This method is ideal for those who want a quick, healthy, and flavorful way to enjoy vegetables during BBQ season. Give it a try and enjoy a wholesome, delicious summer feast!
