Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley with Herb Butter
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!
What I Love About This Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley With Herb Butter
I love that not only is it full of nutrition and flavor, but you can switch up the vegetables any way you want. Just remember to keep them keto-friendly if you are following a strict keto diet.
And there’s nothing quite like the taste of summer with grilled veggies! Amirite?
Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley with Herb Butter
- Compound Butter Ingredients:
- ¼ c. unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 t. fresh thyme leaves, stems removed
- Pinch of sea salt
- Remaining Ingredients:
- Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray for grill
- 3 T. 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 T. black Hawaiian salt
How to Prepare Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley
- Add butter, thyme, and salt to a small bowl. Combine thoroughly with a fork and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Shape it into a log and roll it in the wax paper before placing it in the refrigerator to firm up.
- Prepare the grill by brushing the grates with a wire brush and lightly coating them with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Then, pre-heat the grill to medium.
- Brush both sides of the vegetables with the extra virgin olive oil. Place the onion and bell pepper on the preheated 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 and 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!
