Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley
One of my favorite ways to ensure I get my veggies in and use up whatever my garden has given me is by making a summer vegetable medley on the regular. Usually, this will be on the grill, because, let’s be honest, veggies taste best when you grill them.

This recipe for Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley is my go-to for delicious veggies that pair well with any protein being prepared. Melt some homemade herb flavored butter on them just before you’re ready to serve the meal and everyone will swear that a Michelin star chef made the dish.
You can have this as a side with saucy dishes since the veggies will soak up the sauce or as shown here, as a side to my grilled bone-in pork chop recipe. Grilling vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and the herb butter takes things up a notch!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion cut into half-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
- 1 eggplant cut in rounds
Instructions
- Prepare grill by brushing grates with a wire brush and lightly coating with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Preheat 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, eggplant 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.
