Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Oil – We used olive oil but you can also use any neutral flavored oil you like.
- Vegetables – We used asparagus, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and broccoli. But let me tell you, the beauty of this grilled vegetable recipe is that you can use whatever veggies you have on hand!
This is welcome news when you have a surplus of zucchini from your garden. Or when asparagus is in season. - All-purpose seasoning – You can use store-bought or make your own by mixing your favorite herbs and spices.
- Melted butter – This adds flavor and richness to the vegetables. Use unsalted or salted depending on your preference. You can also use ghee, margarine, or just olive oil as a substitute.
Recipe Variations
- Hibachi Style: Cook your veggies with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of lemon pepper for an authentic hibachi flavor.
- Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the veggies for a tangy, slightly sweet twist.
- Mediterranean: Add garlic, olive oil, and basil for a fresh Mediterranean-inspired side dish.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy variation.
- Cheesy Delight: Top the cooked veggies with shredded parmesan for a rich, savory finish.
Equipment Used in Our Recipe
- Flat Top Griddle: Perfect for cooking evenly and quickly.
- Infrared Temperature Gun: Ensures your griddle is at the optimal cooking temperature for perfectly cooked vegetables.
- Large Bowl: For tossing the veggies with seasonings and oils before cooking.
- Large Metal Spatula: Makes flipping and stirring the veggies easy and efficient.
Cooking Vegetables in Blackstone Griddle
- Preheat the flat top griddle on medium-high heat (400ºF to 425ºF). Use an infrared temperature gun to check the heat (the one we use is linked).
- Prepare the vegetables while the grill is preheating.
- Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch. Add them to a large bowl, and toss them with melted butter and all-purpose seasoning.
- Season the grill with enough olive oil to prevent sticking. Add the vegetables to the griddle.
🎯 TFN Pro Tip
To get that smoky flavor, do not move the vegetables for 2-3 minutes before flipping. This will allow a little charring to occur and provide even more flavor.
- Flip the vegetables with a long metal spatula. Cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes more.
- Then test the zucchini and asparagus by piercing them with a fork. If the fork slides in easily then the zucchini and asparagus are ready.
- Taste to check for seasoning, and add more if needed before serving.
🎯 TFN Pro Tip
For extra flavor, you may marinate your vegetables in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, minched garlic, and sesame oil for at least 15 minutes before grilling.
Serving Suggestions
These Blackstone vegetables are incredibly versatile and pair well with almost any dish. Serve them alongside hibachi steak, hibachi chicken, or salmon for a protein-packed meal. Add them to a bowl of cooked rice for a satisfying vegetarian option or as a side dish to burgers or grilled sausages. For appetizers, pair them with hummus or a creamy dip, and for beverages, iced green tea or a light white wine complements the flavors beautifully. End the meal with a light dessert like fruit sorbet or lemon bars for a refreshing finish.
Griddle Vegetable Recipe FAQs
Yes, but ensure they’re thawed and patted dry before cooking to prevent excess moisture on the griddle.
Avocado oil is a great choice due to its high smoke point, but olive oil or sesame oil works well for added flavor.
Preheat the griddle properly and toss the vegetables with oil to prevent sticking.
Seared veggies are great! Serve them with other griddle-cooked dishes like steak, chicken, or shrimp. Or other classic barbecue mains, like hamburgers or healthier recipes for turkey burgers grilled.
I also love to serve bright and crisp veggies with recipe for pan seared chicken.
Most vegetables will work in this recipe. If you are using root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or sweet potatoes, add them first. Cook them on the grill for 5 minutes first.
Then, add the softer vegetables like asparagus, onions, broccoli, zucchini, and bell pepper on Blackstone griddle.
The griddle should be set to medium-high. That is approximately 400°F to 425°F.
Leftover veggies will keep well for up to 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator.
