| I've always just grilled meat, fish..and the usual vegs (zucchini, eggplant, red peppers). Saw in last weeks NYT recipes for grilled watermelon, cabbage, sweet potatoes. Now feeling inspired to try these and other delicacies. Any suggestions? |

| Grilled cabbage is amazing! Just cut 1/2" thick "rounds" of red cabbage, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, grill, then top with some chevre and fresh basil. Wonderful. |

| OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. Can't wait to try them. Have kale in the fridge so I'll try that tonight and cabbage tomorrow. YUM. |

Oh - yes peaches! I am the cabbage PP, but also second fruit grilling suggestions. One of DH's favorite meals is grilled shrimp and pineapple kebobs - and grilled pineapple is amazing over vanilla ice cream.
I like to grill peaches and serve them with arugula salad with a bit of grated parmesan and a lemon viniagrette. You can truly grill anything. Tomatoes to add to salads or pastas, carrots for extra zing in carrot soup, sweet potatoes to add to quinoa salad... |

I am the corn, peach, pineapple poster"
Just had a thought.... how would fresh beets be? I was just on vacation, and at a restaurant had amazing grilled artichokes. They were sliced in half tan grilled. Probably steamed first, I would imagine. Yum! |

I think grilling makes just about anything taste better 
I've grilled pineapple, corn, and fennel, all delicious. |

| Grilled fennel. Love that idea. Do you marinate it? |

OP here-actually tried the curried sweet potatoes from the Sunday NYT- turned out okay but not my favorite rub. Will try them again with different spices/marinade.

DH grills romaine hearts. Much tastier than they sound.
Artichokes and fennel rock on the grill, along with pineapple and stone fruit, corn, asparagus and most other veggies. |

Second the grilled romaine hearts. Cut them in half grill on high heat to get the chat then serve with parm cheese and drizzles Caesar dressing. Don't chop them up to serve.
Grill tomatoes and then use them to make salsa. Red potatoes cut in half with oil and rosemary are good. |
