About

This is a simple grilling recipe that is nice to do on a hot summer’s day when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen. It is adaptable to camping and using a fire pit too. I use this basic method for all the veggies I cook on the grill. As far as I am concerned, any veggie can be grilled! These veggies go nicely with Grilled Tempeh and a salad. Also, check out my recipe for the Chipotle-Ginger Barbecue Sauce.

Ingredients

Okra		10 ea
Yam, washed & sliced into 1/2 inch discs		1 ea large
Cauliflower, washed & cut up into large florets		1/2 head
Red pepper, sliced into four sections		1 ea
Tomato, sliced into thick discs		1 ea large
Salt		to taste
Olive oil		to taste
Chipotle-Ginger Barbecue Sauce		as needed

Directions

Wash and prepare all veggies.
Get your barbecue to medium-hot.
Brush yam discs on both sides with barbecue sauce and put on the grill.
Salt the cauliflower and put on a pan with a bit of olive oil. Cover with tin foil and put on grill.
Turn the yams after three minutes.
Brush the okra with the sauce and put on the grill. If you have a special grill tray put the okra on that as they tend to fall through the grill otherwise.
Turn and monitor the yams, brushing them with more sauce as necessary. Do the same with the okra. Both are done when a fork slips easily through them. Place them on the resting rack of your barbecue.
Check the cauliflower. If it is getting soft, brush it with the barbecue sauce, remove from pan and put it directly on the grill.
Add the tomato slices; brush them with sauce too.
Add the red pepper to the grill.
Monitor the veggies on the grill and brush them with more sauce as needed.
Flip the tomato only once. It takes about 2 minutes on each side.
Veggies are done when the skin on the pepper is just starting to singe and the pepper is getting a little soft. You may have to move the tomato and the cauliflower to the resting rack of your barbecue before the pepper is done, depending how fast they cook up.
