If you love to BBQ, you'll love these ideas for grilling the healthy sides your BBQ has been missing!
Perfect Grilled Veggies
Grilling season is now upon us, and that means burgers, brats, steaks, and more! While we all know grilling is delicious, sometimes it can be accompanied by an array of unhealthy sides. Grilled veggies provide for delicious flavor, and allow you to consume the type of meat you enjoy without having to dial back. Check out these fantastic recipes below for some yummy veggie grillspiration!
Grilled Asparagus
There are so many nutritional benefits to asparagus, but our favorite is that it contains lots of Vitamin E! Vitamin E is great for your immune system and is digested better alongside fats, so be generous with your olive oil.
Grilled Mushrooms
Mushrooms give you Vitamin D, which helps maintain healthy bones. They’re also low in calories, which makes them a great option to serve alongside other veggies.
Grilled Corn
We definitely associate corn and grilling with warm weather, so why not put them all together? On a healthy note, corn releases antioxidants when cooked that can help protect from cancer and heart disease!
Grilled Mini Peppers
One cup of these little cuties will give you a day’s worth of Vitamin A and C! Not only that, they also add great color to any dish.
Grilled Eggplant
Eggplants are a great source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion. They are also very filling, and contain almost no fat or cholesterol.
Grilled Zucchini
Zucchini is also rich in fiber, and has a high water content, leaving you feeling fuller longer. Eating zucchini regularly can help flush bad toxins out of your body.
