6 Fall Vegetables to Cook on the Grill

The nights may be getting shorter and cooler, but for many it’s still grilling season. Prolong the joy until the very end with one last barbecue that showcases delicious autumn veggies, including corn, potatoes, tomatoes and onions.

1. Corn: Grilled Corn on the Cob (Elotes a La Parrilla)

Even if you love boiled corn with salt and butter, grilling cobs has the advantage of caramelizing the kernels’ sugars and enhancing the vegetable’s flavour. Serve it in a salad, or add a creamy topping spiced with garlic, chili powder and cilantro, inspired by the popular Mexican street food.

2. Carrots: Salmon and Vegetable Papillote with Za’atar

To accompany our last barbecue of the season, what could be better than spicy, firm and crunchy seasonal carrots? Grill the vegetables in a foil parcel for 10 minutes before adding the fish and continuing to cook. Upon serving, add a sprinkle of feta and mint to the dish, as well as a drizzle of dressing.

3. Tomatoes: Grilled Tomato and Halloumi Orecchiette

Make the most of summer’s final gorgeous days by cooking this recipe either in the oven or on the grill. Grilled tomatoes are paired with pasta and halloumi, a wonderful cheese that can be grilled without melting and will whet your appetite.

4. Potatoes: Grilled Potatoes with Feta and Arugula

Grilled potatoes are a must at the end of summer. Whether enjoyed baked or with their skins loaded to avoid food waste, the key is to fill them generously. Serving them in a salad is also a great idea that’ll make everyone around the table happy.

5. Cabbage: Hot Dogs with Braised Cabbage and Spicy Mayonnaise

End the season on a high note with hot dogs that include a braised cabbage filling that makes all the difference. Slice the seasonal veggie thinly and cook it in a foil parcel. Another option is to slice the cabbage into wedges and cook them directly on the grill, then serve alongside pork tenderloin.

6. Onions: Caramelized Onion Papillote with Apple

Grilled onions perfectly complement any dish, from roast chicken to pork fajitas. Cut them into thick slices and cook them directly on the grill or cut them into rounds and skewer them. In this recipe, the onions are cooked in a foil parcel with the perfect end-of-summer fruit: apples.
