Don’t get left out at the summer BBQs this year with nothing but carb-y sides to eat! This recipe for Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley with Herb Butter is a go-to for delicious veggies that pair well with any protein being prepared.

You can have this as a side with saucy dishes since the veggies will soak up the sauce, or as seen here served with my grilled Bone-in Pork Chops. Grilling vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and the herb butter takes things up a notch!

Ingredients

Compound Butter Ingredients:
¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves stems removed
Pinch of sea salt
Remaining Ingredients:
Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray for grill
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion cut into ½-inch thick half rounds
3 red bell pepper core removed and cut into 4 equal-sized flat pieces
3 small zucchini cut in half lengthwise
3 small yellow squash cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon black Hawaiian salt

Instructions

Add butter, thyme, and salt to a small bowl. Combine thoroughly with a fork and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Shape into a log and roll in the wax paper before placing in the refrigerator to firm up.
Prepare grill by brushing grates with a wire brush and lightly coating with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Pre-heat grill to medium.
Brush both sides of the vegetables with the extra virgin olive oil. Place the onion and bell pepper on the pre-heated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes before turning.
Continue grilling the onion and pepper for another 2-3 minutes before adding the zucchini and yellow squash. Grill the vegetables for another 4-5 minutes, or just until crisp tender. (Turn the zucchini and yellow squash once after 2-3 minutes)
Remove from heat and serve immediately with the grilled bone-in pork chops. Add a pat of the compound herb butter to the vegetables and pork chops for an extra bit of flavor and a nice presentation. Enjoy!
