Traeger Grilled Vegetables take a grocery store veggie tray and turn it into something incredible. If you need something to do with party leftovers, or you want to just give this super simple side a try just because, this is a definite winner.

Traeger Grilled Vegetables

Farm fresh vegetables always taste better grilled. Take your boring fresh veggies, and give them a flavor boost by grilling them. I have a simple and tasty side dish that will pair well with any main course.

These “Veggie Tray” leftovers are drizzled with olive oil and then sheet pan grilled on the Traeger for about 20 minutes covered with Traeger Vegetable seasoning.

Traeger grilled vegetables are so simple to make on your pellet grill, and will really bring out more flavor in your vegetables. 20 minutes is all it takes to give your vegetables a robust flavor boost.

A few weeks ago we had a massive birthday party that was to celebrate all 4 of my summer babies. It was massive, and there was sooooo much food. One of the items on our bbq buffet table with a giant Costco-sized veggie tray.

Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, snap peas, you name it I had it!

We went through the evening having a blast and enjoying good food and company, and I thought for sure most of the food would be eaten up.

Well, it looks like my crowds favor pulled pork and pasta salad over vegetables, much like I do, and when I went to put up the veggie tray I noticed that it had barely been touched. Now I was sitting on a large number of vegetables that my family isn’t really a fan of. I can barely get some of these kids to eat cooked vegetables with butter, so raw vegetables are not really a thing around here.

I didn’t want to throw out a ton of veggies, so I got creative and did a nice Traeger grilled vegetable with a light seasoning to help bring out flavors in the vegetables.

This turned out to be the perfect option for my family, as we all gobbled it right up. I will agree with my family, I prefer cooked vegetables over fresh. I like the tenderness and the seasoning flavors added to help elevate the flavors. Grilled vegetables pair well with pretty much any main dish, so I was able to make grilled veggies a few nights throughout the week to get our surplus used up. I also made a vegetable bisque that was outstanding as well.

FAQ

What types of vegetables are best for grilling?

What I generally do for grilled vegetables is buy what is in season and on sale. Then you get really fresh and vegetables at their prime so it helps bring out natural flavors. For summer we reach for items like snap peas, broccoli, zucchini, onions, etc. When fall hits I might reach more for other squashes even acorn squash to fit the flavors of the season. Just be open and versatile, and create a side everyone can enjoy.

How long do grilled vegetables keep in the fridge?

You can store these veggies for 3-4 days, max. Try making leftovers into our Traeger Vegetable Bisque!
