Easy grilled vegetablesÂ
The barbecue season is officially open, right?! To be honest, I’m ready for it as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear. I love barbecuing with friends and family. I like to make a real party of it with all kinds of different dishes, and these grilled vegetables packets are my new favourite!
Barbecue grilled vegetables
I absolutely love meat and fish cooked on the barbecue. But don’t underestimate the delicious flavour of grilled veggies from the barbecue either. The delicious grilled flavour really enhances the vegetables.
You can cook lots of different vegetables on the barbecue. This time, I opted for a mix of aubergine, courgette, green and red bell peppers, red onions and tomato. Mushrooms would be delicious too!

These BBQ vegetable packets are really easy to make. Simply chop the vegetables and mix them with a delicious yet simple dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar and dried herbs. Then divide the vegetables between sheets of aluminium foil and wrap them up.
Make sure the packets are sealed tightly so that no steam can escape during cooking. This method is a great way of preparing a delicious side dish or vegetarian main dish.
Barbecued vegetable medley with feta
To finish it off, I crumble some delicious feta cheese over the grilled vegetables. Mmm, so delicious! Of course, if you prefer to keep it completely plant-based, you can leave this out or replace it with vegan feta. The dressing gives the vegetables plenty of flavour!
