Grilled Fall Vegetables

September 29, 2025

As the air cools and leaves turn rich with color, fall menus shift toward hearty comfort foods and earthy flavors. Grilled Fall Vegetables bring that seasonal warmth to your table, blending charred edges with the natural sweetness of autumn produce. This dish is perfect for family gatherings, weeknight meals, or weekend cookouts, capturing the essence of outdoor dining while celebrating the best of the harvest.

The grill transforms simple vegetables into something intensely flavorful, adding smoke and caramelization that an oven can't replicate. Squash, carrots, and root vegetables thrive in the fire's heat, while herbs and spices highlight their natural character. Served alongside roasted meats, soups, or even on their own, this recipe proves that vegetables can shine as the star of the meal.

Outdoor cooking in the fall carries its own charm. Crisp evenings and golden sunsets create an atmosphere where grilled dishes feel especially satisfying. Preparing Grilled Fall Vegetables keeps the menu seasonal, versatile, and healthy without losing any of the comfort we crave this time of year.

Serves 4

Grilled Fall Vegetables Ingredients

Seasoning

• 4 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
• 1 – 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/4 tsp seasoning salt
• 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Vegetables

• 4 carrots (sliced lengthwise)
• 5 medium beets (sliced)
• 1 cup chunks of sweet potato or yam
• 1 large onion (sliced)
• 1 cup sliced zucchini (about 1 small zucchini)

Grilled Fall Vegetables Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Mix the oil, vinegar, and seasoning in a small bowl.
3. Prepare the vegetables by cutting them into chunks or slices, then add them to a large bowl.
4. Toss the veggies in the marinade, and if possible, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (this gives them a real flavor boost).
5. Place the marinated vegetables in a single layer on the hot grill and roast for 5 minutes. Then, using a pair of tongs, flip and cook for another 5 – 10 minutes or until they are cooked the way you like them. If you want a smoky char, cook the vegetables a little longer; just make sure to watch them closely.
