Grilled Zucchini

In the ongoing series of "Zucchini Appreciation and Consumption" during the peak zucchini harvest months of summer, this is another family favorite recipe. It works well for all kinds of fresh vegetables. The key is the delicious sauce, and then having a grilling basket to put the vegetables in the barbecue grill and be able to easily flip them over. They get a nice crisp texture and slightly smoky flavor that is delicious.

Grilled Mixed Vegetables

2 T brown sugar

1 1/2 t basil

1 1/2 t garlic salt

1/2 t Season-All Seasoned salt

1/8 t ground red pepper (cayenne pepper)

Sliced ripe vegetables such as zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, squash, potatoes, onion, asparagus, etc.

(Siggestion: mix the above spices in larger quantities and keep it in a tupperware container for quick use.)

Put vegetables in a ziploc bag, drizzle with olive oil. Shake until well coated. Sprinkle sugar/seasonings on vegetables and shake to distribute; grill about 10 minutes.

Here are some photos of the process:


That's a nice pork loin cooking next to the zucchini in the last photo - YUM.
