Introduction and My Rating

It’s time to enjoy some great grilled veggies with all those grill meals this summer.

The idea is simple. Treat the grill as an oven, kind of at least. Most of my grilling is done in the 450°-500° range, and I have a large grill surface. So somewhat like an oven, but there is that direct heat thing going on, so give all the veggies a nice coat of olive oil and season to taste.

Make sure to give it a good stir every 5 minutes, and you can grill almost any veggie in a grill basket. Please note… NO ALUMINUM FOIL.

My Rating

My rating system. Great 5 out of 5

An easy 5, great taste, and I do this over and over.

♨️The Grill

The general grill surface temperature range to cook vegetables is about 450°. So they go will with other things like pork tenderloin, pork chops, or most chicken recipes.

If you are cooking something at a higher temperature like burgers or steaks, you will burn the outside of the vegetables before the inside is done – not a good thing.

If you use a lower temperature, it will take longer, but usually, the results will be acceptable.

Please note, we are talking about the grill surface temperature and not the temperature on your hood thermometer, which is totally useless. Please see A Beginners Guide to Grill Temperature on a Gas Grill.

🥕The Vegetables

The cooking time for vegetables will vary some by the type of vegetable.

Root vegetables, like potatoes and carrots, will take longer. About 30 minutes for 1-inch chunks of potatoes and 25 minutes for thinner carrots.

Note that a done potato has an internal temperature of at least 190°, but 200°-210° is much better.

Softer vegetables like broccoli, peppers, zucchini, bell peppers, and yellow squash will take about 15 minutes.

But what if you want different veggies. Here is a general guide from VegKitchen that should help. Or, as always, Google is your friend.

Be sure the veggies have a coat of oil. Plus, a little salt and pepper. I used my 7:2:2 Seasoning.

Recipe Notes

Pro TIps

  1. The recommended grill surface temperature is about 450°. Grill surface temperatue is not the same as the hood thermometer.
  2. This requires a large grill basket or pan as written. You can not “crowd the pan” and expect this to cook well.
  3. Lower grill temperature will take longer but will usually be ok. But higher grill temperature will generally burn the outside of the vegetables before the inside is done.
  4. Be sure the veggies have a coat of oil. Plus, a little salt and pepper. I used my 7:2:2 Seasoning.
  5. Other veggies can be used. See link in post.
  6. Note that a done potato has an internal temperature of at least 190°, but 200°-210° is much better.
