​ Uncommonly good grilled vegetables

​ Uncommonly good grilled vegetables

29 May 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read
The most-popular grilling vegetables (squash, eggplant, peppers, onions, corn) are popular for good reason — but there are a few you might not have thought of that do just as nicely with a little fire. Here are a few great and tasty ideas:

• Edamame
You've had them steamed, and you've had them boiled. But have you tried them grilled? A little bit of smoky char makes edamame even more compulsively snackable. Poke some holes in a sheet of foil, then grill them on top of that till lightly browned.
• Cabbage
Cut cabbage into thin wedges and grill over medium heat until softened and lightly blackened, then toss with a tangy vinaigrette. Perfect alongside any cut of meat in a sweet BBQ sauce or honey marinade.
• Okra
Roll whole pods in oil, then dust with spices (cumin works nicely, as do most Indian spice blends) and salt, then thread okra onto skewers and grill until nicely charred.
Paired with a cold beer, they’re the perfect summer finger food.
