Grilling season is here, and what better way to enjoy the great outdoors than by firing up the grill? Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or craving a flavorful meal on a weeknight, I’ve got you covered. In this blog post, we’ll share 15 quick and easy grilling recipes that are guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds. From juicy burgers to succulent kebabs and tasty vegetarian options, these recipes are simple to prepare and will elevate your grilling game to new heights. Of course, these are all gluten free as well.
Classic burger:
- Start with the ultimate classic – a juicy cheeseburger. Season ground beef with salt and pepper, shape into patties, and grill until cooked to your desired doneness. Then put on either a gluten free bun or wrap with lettuce. I personally don’t eat hamburger so this isn’t a recipe I would eat but I had to include it since many people do enjoy burgers on the grill.
Grilled Chicken Skewers:
- Thread bite-sized chicken pieces onto skewers and marinate in a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. Grill the skewers until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. This is one of my favorite quick easy grilling recipes. I like to also rotate the chicken with chunks of zucchini, tomato and or red onion for variety.
Grilled Shrimp Tacos:
- Season shrimp with a mix of spices like paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Grill until pink and slightly charred. Serve in warm corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness. You can also try grilling the shrimp with olive oil and lemon just like with the chicken skewers.
Vegetable Kebabs:
- For a vegetarian delight, assemble colorful vegetable kebabs. Thread bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red onions onto skewers. Brush with a tangy balsamic glaze and grill until tender and slightly charred.
Grilled Portobello Mushrooms:
- Marinate large Portobello mushrooms in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and olive oil. Grill until they become tender and slightly juicy. Serve them as a burger substitute or slice them to top a salad. You can also combine mushrooms and zucchini chucks on skewers as well.
Grilled Salmon:
- Create a mouthwatering salmon dish by marinating the fillets in a blend of honey, coconut animos, ginger, and garlic. Grill until the fish is flaky and perfectly cooked. Serve with a squeeze of lemon for added zing.
Grilled Corn on the Cob:
- Indulge in the natural sweetness of corn on the cob by grilling it to perfection. Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until the kernels are tender and slightly charred for that delicious smoky flavor.
BBQ Ribs:
- Prepare tender and succulent ribs by marinating them in a homemade BBQ sauce overnight. Grill low and slow until the meat is falling off the bone. Brush with additional sauce while grilling for a sticky and finger-licking finish.
Grilled Bruschetta:
- Grill slices of crusty gluten free bread until they’re nicely toasted. Rub with garlic cloves and top with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This simple yet flavorful appetizer will impress your guests. Another option would be to use sourdough bread if you think you can tolerate it.
Grilled Halloumi Skewers:
- Cut halloumi cheese into cubes and thread them onto skewers with cherry tomatoes and pieces of bell peppers. Grill until the cheese is golden and slightly melted. Serve with a squeeze of lemon for a delightful twist. If you can’t have dairy you can also try a goat’s cheese if that is better for you or feta which is easier for many people to digest.
Grilled Pineapple:
- Grill pineapple slices until they caramelize and develop those beautiful grill marks. Serve as a side dish or add them to burgers, tacos, or salads for a burst of tropical sweetness.
Grilled Veggie and Fruit Skewers :
- Grill zucchini and yellow squash chunks, pineapple chunks and red onion and potato chunks and put them on a skewer.
Grilled Asparagus:
- Toss asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until they’re slightly charred and tender. This simple side dish adds a touch of elegance to any meal.
Grilled Watermelon Salad:
- Slice watermelon into thick wedges and grill until grill marks appear. Cut into cubes and combine with fresh mint, feta cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a unique and refreshing salad.
Grilled Peaches with Ice Cream:
- Cut peaches in half, remove the pit, and grill until caramelized. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful and decadent dessert.
