Grilled vegetables are a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. To enhance their natural flavors, a flavorful herb rub can make all the difference. This article guides you through creating a simple rosemary and thyme herb rub that will elevate your grilled vegetables.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
Preparing the Herb Rub
Start by combining the chopped rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, mixing well until you form a paste-like consistency. This mixture will serve as your herb rub for the vegetables.
Applying the Herb Rub to Vegetables
Choose your favorite vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, or asparagus. Wash and cut them into suitable sizes for grilling. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the vegetables, ensuring all surfaces are coated. For best flavor, let the vegetables marinate for at least 15 minutes before grilling.
Grilling Tips
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the vegetables on the grill, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Cook until vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks, about 5-10 minutes depending on the type.
- Optionally, brush with extra herb mixture during grilling for added flavor.
Enjoy your grilled vegetables with the fresh, aromatic flavor of rosemary and thyme. This simple herb rub not only enhances taste but also adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor cooking.
