Grilled veggies are one of the joys of summer, as well as very filling. A few different veggies plus some grilled polenta or garlic/cheese bread is perfect for dinner. And it’s easy to throw together, as long as you have a grill basket.

Even if you don’t have a grill basket, you can still enjoy grilled Brussel Sprouts on skewers. They have become one of my new favorite vegetables to grill, probably because they have such a bad reputation that it’s especially delightful when they’re done right. Grilling enhances the nuttiness of these tiny cabbages and this basic marinade caramelizes on the grill for a bright and complex profile.

Ingredients:

• Juice of 1 lemon
• Equal part olive or grape seed oil
• 1 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning

This pre-mixed steak seasoning is easy to find and covers pretty much all of your bases: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, red pepper, and dill seed. This simple marinade works wonderfully on…pretty much everything else too. It’s especially good on asparagus and on thick cut grilled onion rings.
