Grilled Vegetables 101 | Chef Eric Recipe

Vegetables: So easy to prepare, but also so easy to ruin. Grilling vegetables is one of our favorite ways to prep for a flavorful summer, and with Chef Eric’s tips for preparing vegetables his way, you’re certain to have grilled vegetables on the menu all season long

Grilled Vegetables 101

2 Each Squash
2 Each Zucchini
1 Each Yellow Onion
1 Each Red Bell Pepper
2 Tbsp Lane’s BBQ Scorpion Seasoning

Optional:
½ Cup Ginger Maple Miso
¼ Cup Bourbon

Method:
1. Stabilize your grill at 500-600F and set up for a direct cook.
2. Cut the squash and zucchini into ¼” lengthwise so you have spears. Cut the onions into ¼” disks. Trim bell pepper.
3. Slightly oil and season vegetables for better heat transfer (do not over oil).
4. Place the squash, zucchini, onion disks and bell pepper on the grill grate. Sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes to slightly char and slightly soften. Then, char all vegetables on all sides at a high heat without overly softening. Transfer all vegetables to a cutting board. Slice all vegetables into large bite size pieces.

(At this point, you can season and serve or continue to “Grilled Vegetables 102” as seen below and in the video. I used a cast iron griddle; if you do not have one, you could use a large cast iron pan)

Grilled Vegetables 102

1. Using the cast iron griddle, ensure your surface is 500F+. Lay out the charred and trimmed vegetables onto the griddle for a final sear. Season the vegetables with the Scorpion rub 1 more time, roll the vegetables on the hot surface then pour over the Ginger Maple Miso to glaze. Allow the sauce to slightly reduce.
2. (Optional Flambe: Making sure everyone is away from the grill, very carefully pour ¼ Cup Bourbon not from the bottle over the vegetables for a final glaze. Be sure to not burn yourself or others! Allow the bourbon to flambe then reduce for 1 minute. As soon as the flames are gone, use 2 spatulas to toss the veg in the reducing glaze (For the Bourbon, I Prefer “Smooth Ambler”)
3. Using the 2-spatula method, transfer vegetables to the presentation platter and serve hot!

Maple Miso
2 Tbsp Shiro Miso or White Miso
1 Tsp Lemon Zest
½ Cup White Wine Vinegar
¾ Cup Pure Vermont Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Brag’s Amino Acid
2 Tsp Ginger, Minced
1½ Cups Blended Oil
¼ Tsp Kosher Salt

Method:

Combine all except oil in a food processor or mixing bowl. While whipping or processing, slowly incorporate the oil to create and emulsify.

    What is the season you use?

  2. @يوميقومالناسلربالعالمين on February 10, 2025 at 7:04 pm

    Very good 👍

  3. @toddg3268 on February 10, 2025 at 7:05 pm

    I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this recipe! So much so that I’ll do it again this weekend when our kids come over. What is it about fire, especially when powered by alcohol, that gets us motivated?! My flambé was based on Bulleit Rye, so not quite as elevated as your cook, but delicious just the same. Keep the great recipes coming!

  4. @corderomartin7959 on February 10, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    This is the best video on grilling veggies I’ve seen

  5. @mariop.4898 on February 10, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    What wonderful side dishes and such great preparation. Fantastic.

  6. @skyking7733 on February 10, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    We did this today and the sauce you have is the absolute bomb! Our guest even tried it over their pork chops (grilled) and that took it to a whole new level. I used regular olive oil as you did not specify what type. Thanks for sharing this recipe… it is simply amazing! Side note: We added mushrooms and all in all, not one leftover. Go figure!

  7. @joecesavir9496 on February 10, 2025 at 7:12 pm

    Dang!so delicious looking!

  8. @dianeibsen5994 on February 10, 2025 at 7:12 pm

    Not tasty?

  9. @leiwang1698 on February 10, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    Very appetising my mouth is drooling right now😊

  10. @oscarmosca9509 on February 10, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    White Derek Jeter?

  11. @2dehans1970 on February 10, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    I love your videos! The recipes are great and seem easy to make for a hobby bbq-master
    But… I also like video’s where things didn’t go als planed.. just to see that we all struggle. I think you did a remake of a shot.. because at 7.57min your temp is almost zero after the big flams… how come 😉

  12. @jeffb.4800 on February 10, 2025 at 7:15 pm

    Man that looks delicious

  13. @reddottbtb on February 10, 2025 at 7:16 pm

    Wow, just wow! I was just talking to my Wife about the veggies I grilled and how we threw most of it away. I see that I was halfway done. Going to try this recipe on charcoal. Going to see if I can buy a large cast iron tray to finish these on. It’s going to be hard, I’m not good at juggling jobs and will be making bread and gravy too. At least I can get my salsa done earlier on a smaller grill. I didn’t know you can eat the skin of ginger. This is going to be a side dish on Xmas day. I will also be serving my 1 year old plum mead I made and also have a 128 oz side mini keg with the plum mead that will have a Madagascar vanilla bean added.

  14. @nikkiblack4827 on February 10, 2025 at 7:17 pm

    like everything except the sweet stuff you put on the beautiful veggies. but I guess everyone has a different taste.

  15. @gerdsfargen6687 on February 10, 2025 at 7:18 pm

    This and a juicy revrse sear ribeye = yes please!

  16. @pamelafernett3674 on February 10, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    Yum. Mouth watering.

  17. @gieintube on February 10, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    Can we freeze or put in fridge the left overs? And how long will it last?

  18. @Kukapoor1369 on February 10, 2025 at 7:23 pm

    Looks good. Want to know which oil has been used in this video

  19. @andrewtindal1433 on February 10, 2025 at 7:23 pm

    Well done Chef Eric! You’re so happy and passionate about grilling. Definitely trying this recipe when I get my KJBJ 3.

  20. @beverlyscott7634 on February 10, 2025 at 7:25 pm

    Looks delicious

  21. @jeffbourgeois7554 on February 10, 2025 at 7:25 pm

    Showed the vegetable grill to my wife, she liked it. Where do you get the gloves? She asked.

  22. @alonsogarcia1990 on February 10, 2025 at 7:25 pm

    Grilled veggies have become a part of my daily if not weekly diet. I could eat all I want it doesn’t get old there’s so many to choose from so many seasonings and a lot of way to prepare them. Love grilled veggies

  23. @MrFagedaboudit on February 10, 2025 at 7:26 pm

    Superb!

  24. @gwendolynstratton4169 on February 10, 2025 at 7:27 pm

    My good it look so good.. Thanx for the vid.

  25. @johnr.9852 on February 10, 2025 at 7:28 pm

    Just curious why you chose the cast iron griddle, instead of the vegetable grate? I dont think I have seen any of the KJ chefs use the vegetable/fish grate.

  26. @roolyfe on February 10, 2025 at 7:28 pm

    I am going to give this a try😊

  27. @dannyrussell-fl2sq on February 10, 2025 at 7:28 pm

    I was really amazing how u cook them just learning to cook veggies an came up on your video thank u a lot

  28. @pammypoo3003 on February 10, 2025 at 7:29 pm

    Looks delicious but also dangerous! 😂

  29. @carolinebritten8430 on February 10, 2025 at 7:31 pm

    What recipes anything with it I’m impaired deaf and need captions with substitute thank

  30. @ellisgarvin on February 10, 2025 at 7:32 pm

    Apparently for extra flavor "Chef Eric" likes to drag his grungy chakra spirit bracelets across the food. Who needs MSG? YUM.

  31. @jacquelinewyatt6811 on February 10, 2025 at 7:32 pm

    Enjoyed grilled veggies

  32. @tommycee1706 on February 10, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    Very cool video thank you it all looks great and I’m excited about that maple ginger dressing!

  33. @messymarvelous1 on February 10, 2025 at 7:34 pm

    Who knew Derek Jeter knew how to cook

  34. @salvatoregiovanni8967 on February 10, 2025 at 7:34 pm

    Who started the trend with the black latex gloves when cooking? I don’t like it.

  35. @m.berlin770 on February 10, 2025 at 7:38 pm

    Make sens. Will try it out. Thanks.

  36. @patsyrios8009 on February 10, 2025 at 7:38 pm

    Love it , thx!

  37. @SammyEddie on February 10, 2025 at 7:40 pm

    How long to grill vegies on each side?

  38. @bhiei on February 10, 2025 at 7:42 pm

    Tried the recipe today with modification, I bought all the ingredients for the sauce, but there was tons of flavor, so I scrubbed it, I used a bit too much oil, and grilled a bit too long, also next time I’ll make these last in the cook, when the medley sits it loses crispness, wife liked it though so I’m good

  39. @kenfox22 on February 10, 2025 at 7:43 pm

    Are those sweet onions?

  40. @cyabear on February 10, 2025 at 7:45 pm

    I’m a recent widower and I need all the help I can get. My wife was a gourmet chef and handed me the prepared meats and vegetables and told me Temps and times. This video was very helpful.

  41. @karenwoodruff3533 on February 10, 2025 at 7:46 pm

    Thanks for sharing!!!

  42. @rogerrtewwr4723 on February 10, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    that sauce, very interesting, I need to try it

  43. @jvasq001 on February 10, 2025 at 7:52 pm

    This looks amazing. Gonna try it on the Weber kettle.

  44. @gloriayah689 on February 10, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    Wow, that looks sooooo good. I’m going to try a modified version on my smokeless indoor grill, minus the bourbon of course.

  45. @wallyj2000 on February 10, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    Looks pretty good but it looks like that grill cook the food pretty unevenly

  46. @ronhmason on February 10, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    Is it safe to do the flambe on a gas grill?

  47. @Flippokid on February 10, 2025 at 7:59 pm

    Looks delicious!

    Always amazed by how much people put in when they say "just a little" (in this case maple syrup). 😅

  48. @aaronshuster5022 on February 10, 2025 at 8:00 pm

    What seasoning did you use above? Thanks

  49. @Sunnybe3vh on February 10, 2025 at 8:00 pm

    The best of the best 👍👍

  50. @davidbrothers3788 on February 10, 2025 at 8:00 pm

    Those vegetables look good some grilled chicken would go good with that
