I’ve gathered together a list of over 60 healthy grill recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Summer is one of my favorite seasons: sun, heat, beaches, and good seasonal food. Of course, nothing symbolizes good weather and summer like beautiful day outside grilling!
While traditional grilling recipes like burgers and ribs are great and all, it was a lot of fun putting together this list of healthy grilling ideas to include unique and new recipes (as well as some traditional ones!) for putting that grill to good use.
Breakfast on the Grill
Honestly, when I think about grilling food, I never think about putting breakfast on the grill! It was a pleasant surprise to find some delicious recipes that use the grill in the morning in order to keep the heat out of the kitchen and soak up the morning sun on the porch.
1. Grilled Omelette and Bacon from The Rustic Willow
2. Grilled Breakfast Pizza from A Cozy Kitchen
3. Egg Bake Breakfast Foil Packet from Julie’s Eats and Treats
4. Grilled Easy French Toast Skewers from Merry About Town
5. BBQ Breakfast Sandwiches from Moms & Munchkins
Grilling Vegetables
I LOVE the taste of flame-kissed vegetables from the grill. The grill always seems to emphasize hidden tastes in the vegetables. Here’s a list of tutorials about how to grill specific vegetables, since each vegetable is different! Some of the vegetables, like peas(!), were a pleasant surprise to me. I can’t wait to try it! Which of these healthy grill recipes are you going to try?
