Burgers, steaks and hotdogs–oh my! Believe it or not, you can have too much of a good thing. Put those meats back in the fridge, because our pals at Pure Wow have fired up the grill to bring you 26 foods you never considered putting over an open flame.
Artichokes
Boil, drain, grill. How simple is that?
Bananas
Firm bananas do best on the grill–be sure to put down some tin foil if using ripe ones to prevent them from falling. See how it’s done.
Crispy Polenta
Slice the rounds from a tube of pre-cooked polenta to save time without sacrificing taste, then use a grill pan to char them to perfection.
Doughnuts
Okay, so this sweet treat is far from healthy, but it definitely fits the unconventional grill bill. Make your cheat day count with one of these grilled doughnut delights–they’re infused with coconut and drenched in a caramelized espresso glaze. Mouth watering yet?
Endive
About 5 minutes on the grill yields a crisp and tender vegetarian entree packed with fiber, protein and potassium. Top with pistachios, dried cherries and feta.
Figs
Stuffed with balsamic vinegar and goat cheese, these creamy, salty bites make an addictive appetizer.
Gazpacho
Grill the tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions before pureeing to give this savory concoction a smoky kick.
Halloumi Cheese
Accompanied by basil-mint oil and watermelon, the very thought of this flavor blend will have you salivating before the halloumi hits the grill.
Iceberg Lettuce
A little char is just what an iceberg lettuce wedge needs to go from bland to beautiful. Top with your favorite light dressing and toppings for a next-level lunch.
Jalapeños
Seed ’em and stuff with your choice of cheese for a creamy treat with a little bite.
