Tasty vegetables on the grill
As temperatures rise, many people enjoy their favorite weekend activity: barbecues. Usually, bratwurst, neck steak and sometimes fish end up on the grill. There are salads and baguette. But above all, who wants to pay attention to his slim line, should switch to delicious vegetable varieties. Sweet-spicy marinated peppers, mushrooms, zucchini and aubergines can be easily prepared. In addition, this healthy grilled meat alternative is very tasty and has only a short cooking time on the grill. Vegetable skewers also look appealing. For example, red, green and yellow peppers, onions and cherry tomatoes can be used.

For those who want to do without a purely vegetarian vegetable variant while grilling, Andreas Huberti from the German Barbecue Association in Eitorf has some tasty tips. Opposite the news agency „dpa“ He recommends hollowing out tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms and stuffing them with minced meat and cheese or herbs, followed by a barbecue.

Even potatoes are among the grill classics among the vegetables. They can either be cooked in the oven as a baked potato or sliced ​​on the grill.

Recently, the German Society for Nutrition (DGE) in Bonn pointed out that not only vegetables but also fruit can be grilled. For example, bananas, mangoes and pineapples are suitable for this. After grilling, the fruit can be enjoyed with chocolate sauce, for example. But also sweet and spicy combinations are delicious. So pineapple slices can be turned in a pepper-sugar mixture and then grilled. The combination of fruit and ginger is promising. There are no limits to the creativity of the grill masters. (Ag)
