BBQ & Grilled Side Dish Recipes

Cutting cauliflower into "steaks" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

A simple, easy grilled zucchini with a touch of balsamic vinegar and spices.

My dad would make the most wonderful grilled vegetables that he pulled straight from his garden. Every summer I crave these, so I figured out how he made them, and I added a few personal touches. You can use some or all of these vegetables, and you can add some of your own, but the thing that brings it all together and makes it special are the beets.

I got something like this at a restaurant and it was wonderful.

These are easy to make for camping, my husband loves them! We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like. Do not try to use less olive oil or foil or your dinner will burn. Be careful when opening foil as steam will have formed inside and can burn you.

No more dipping artichokes in mayo! These artichokes are grilled with a lemon garlic basting and dipping sauce. This is the best way to eat artichokes... healthy too!

This is a tasty way to use up all the yellow squash you have pouring out of your garden every summer. I also do this same thing with zucchini.

I couldn't decide what to do with all the beets, so I tossed them onto the grill.

Perfect, easy, and yummy!

Grilled bok choy is easy to cook and tastes great with steak, burgers, hot dogs or anything else you might be cooking on the grill! The crispy leaves and tender stalks will have you coming back for more!

A yummy and easy side for hot summer days! Goes great with your grilled dishes or just to munch on. This recipe will last several days when covered in an airtight container and refrigerated.

Bacon can easily be cooked on the grill for a mess free stove.

Delicious! Grilling it in slices creates a crispy shell and seals in all the flavor. You don't even need butter or salt and pepper--great on its own.

These are like a baked potato, but better! This recipe is so simple and makes a delicious side dish, a 'baked' potato that is soft in the middle and perfectly grilled on the outside. We dip ours in sour cream and green onions!

The simplest things are often the tastiest. At the height of summer here in Iowa we have a LOT of produce to choose from, and this is a nice and easy way to enjoy summer squashes and zucchini.

Delicious and healthy roasted cabbage slices are sure to please.

New potatoes coated in a rosemary and garlic marinade then skewered and grilled.

Doesn't matter if you use fresh corn or frozen, this recipe will make it the best corn you've ever eaten!

I consider this to be the greatest corn-on-the-cob recipe of all time. The way the mild, subtly salted cheese works with an ancho-lime mayonnaise, along with that buttery, smoky corn, is a magnificent combination of flavors. Perfecto!

This asparagus pairs especially well with Asian types of grilled foods, such as kebabs or satays.

A nice way to have elote without having to eat it straight off the husk.

This is truly and ridiculously easy. The trick is to get the grill grates very hot. And the result? A lightly caramelized surface and a slightly smoky flavor. The insides stay cool and crisp. It's quite a contrast of tastes and textures.

A simple recipe for vegetables that let's their quality and freshness shine through! A variety of other vegetables (cut at least 1/2-inch thick) can be used with this recipe such as: mushrooms, onions, squash, and red peppers.

Always cook up a package of potatoes and onions with the rest of your grilled meal! Start early, because it takes about a half an hour to cook. These cook over indirect heat (off to the side), so you can grill other things at the same time.
