Winter is enough to give anyone the blues but grilling can make life more pleasant and flavorful. Winter vegetables taste as delicious when grilled with the Duluth Forge Kamado Grill as their summertime counterparts do. Whether you love broccoli, brussel sprouts, or squash, use an open flame to bring out their natural flavors and create a unique smoky taste that veggies microwave or stove prepped vegetables lack.
Preparing your Kamado Grill:
Whether it’s due to dietary restrictions or personal beliefs, it’s important to thoroughly clean and scrape your grill to ensure there aren’t any meat residue or oils remaining before placing vegan items on the grill. Additionally, if you want to cook vegetables directly on the grates it’s best to oil the grates lightly to prevent any sticking or burning.
Pre-heat your Kamado grill to desired temp

Grilled Greek Sandwiches
Ingredients
- Grilled vegetables (eggplant is a good choice or use a variety)
- Whole-wheat pita bread

Instructions:
1. Brush the vegetables with some olive oil. Slice the vegetables and place them in a grill basket or on a piece of aluminum foil. Grill until the vegetables are partially cooked.
