🫑🧅 Grilled Vegetables With Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce are simple to prepare and provide the perfect amount of smoky flavor, and the dipping sauce accentuates that lovely smokiness! Nutritious, fast, EASY, zero cleanup, and ready in 5 minutes!
The BEST Summer Grilled Vegetables
There’s no better time of year to enjoy vegetables than in the summer, in my opinion. When veggies are fresh, seasonal, and abundant, they taste so good and so much better than in the dead of winter.
As a result, I make my basil vinaigrette mixed veggies or these smoky grilled veggies nearly every week when the weather is warm.
- Grilling adds wonderful smoky flavor, and when you dip them into the smoky honey mustard, it really plays up the smoky flavor profile going on!Â
- Mix and match whatever veggies you have on hand.
- Store leftovers to reheat for quick sides throughout the week.
I love to prepare a large batch of veggies, storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a quick option. I love to serve them as a side dish with lemon grilled chicken. Or, I add them to pasta salads or sandwiches with fresh herbs for a smoky charred flavor.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For this easy grilled vegetables recipe, you’ll need:Â
- Veggies: I use zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper. Feel free to use any fresh veggies you have on hand. Asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and even corn on the cob taste incredible grilled
- Oil: I prefer to use olive oil, but avocado oil will also work
- Kosher salt and pepper
- Honey mustard dipping sauce: Yellow mustard, honey, smoked paprika, Creole seasoning, and kosher salt create the most incredible savory, smoky, sweet sauce for grilled veggies, taking them over the top

How to Grill Vegetables
For larger veggies, like the zucchini, yellow squash, and red peppers shown in the pictures, I grill them directly on the grates. For others, I use a grill basket.
- Preheat the grill to medium or medium-high heat. If the heat is too low, you won’t get a nice char. However, if it’s too high, you’ll scorch the veggies.
- Toss the veggies in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill on both sides to your desired doneness. The exact cooking time will vary depending on what vegetables you use and how you like them cooked. I like most of my veggies crisp-tender, and to test their doneness, I just stick them with a fork. Easy as that!
- In the meantime, whisk all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Dunk, drizzle, or dip, and enjoy!
Can I make grilled vegetables without a grill?
Yes, if needed, you can use a grill pan instead. Work in batches so as not to overcrowd it, and follow the recipe the same way
