Everything from sweet potatos to homemade veggie burgers goes on my grill. Here are a couple of pretty good grilled veggie recipes. One thing that is necessary for veggie grilling is to get a grill "skillet" which can either be shaped like a traditional saute pan or more like a flat cookie sheet. It should have holes in it to allow the flames to hit the vegetables as you grill.

Coconut Cilantro Corn:
Coconut Milk (thick)
Bunch of fresh cilantro
Ears of corn
1) Chop cilantro up very fine and mix with coconut milk in bowl.
2) Detassle corn while leaving on husks.
3) Peel back husks and coat corn with coconut milk/cilantro mixture, leaving enough mixture to add as it cooks.
4) Throw on grill until done, occassionally rebasting with the mixture.

Grilled Lemon Asparagus:
I usually hate asparagus. The other night I was grilling and remembered that I'd sort of liked some lemon flavored asparagus someone had fed me once, but it was baked and floating in some buttery concoction which isn't healthy and grosses me out. I decided to do a grill variation.
1) Prepare asparagus like normal (chop off ends, remove disgusting slimey parts) and add to a shallow marinade dish.
2) Melt a half a stick of butter
3) Add a ton of lemon pepper (no, I'm not one for precision with amounts) to butter.
4) Pour over asparagus and let sit for a bit. Make sure all the asparagus is coated with the mixture.
5) Toss on grill in vegetable grilling pan.
6) Coat asparagus as it cooks. Let it get a little blackened, but don't overcook it. Mushy asparagus is disgusting.
7) Eat (did I mention that there are many things I find repulsive about asparagus, but it's delicious when cooked like this)

I used this asparagus recipe tonight, and you are a genius.
