For all you vegetarians out there, Coast Spas Lifestyles has prepared a list of vegetable BBQ ideas to veg out for the Summer season.
Vegetable Foil Packets
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Zucchini
- 3 Medium Carrots
- 12 ounces Baby Potatoes (350g)
- 1 Large Red Onion
- 2-4 Garlic Heads
- 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spice Mix
- 1 tsp Dried Garlic
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Sweet Paprika
- 2 tbsp Marjoram
- ¾ tsp Salt
Directions
- Preheat BBQ to 400°F (200°C)
- Light the barbecue and allow time for BBQ to heat up. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then cook for 8-10 mins on each side until well browned. Spoon over a little of the marinade as it cooks.
- Cut zucchini into chunks, peel and slice carrots, and cut baby potatoes into quarters. Cut onion into rings or quarters. Trim top of each garlic head (about quarter inch where stem is) so cloves are exposed.
Place all veggies in large bowl, except for garlic heads. Drizzle oil over veggies.
Prepare spice mix by combining all ingredients in small bowl.
Sprinkle seasoning over veggies and mix them until evenly coated.
Divide veggies into four sheets of foil.
Place garlic head open side down into large bowl where veggies were. Press down so the cloves suck up juices (oil +seasoning). Repeat with the rest of them. Place them in the middle of each packet.
Wrap each packet tight and place them onto the grill until done.

Smoky Miso Aubergines
Ingredients
- sake 30ml
- mirin 30ml
- white miso paste 70g
- golden caster sugar 25g
- baby aubergines 14
Pickled Mooli
- toasted sesame oil
- asian white radish (mooli) 1
- caster sugar 1 tbsp
- rice vinegar 5 tbsp
Directions
- To prep pickled Mooli, peel mooli and put through a spiralizer or shave into thin strips using vegetable peeler. Mix 1 tbsp sugar and vinegar with 3 tbsp water and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add the mooli, cover and chill.
- Heat barbecue to medium-high. Mix sake, mirin, miso and sugar in bowl. Halve aubergines lengthways and score flesh on diagonal, at about 2 cm intervals. Brush aubergines with sesame oil and season with a little salt. Grill for 2-4 minutes, until starting to turn golden and soften. Brush all over with miso paste.
- Grill again for another 15 minutes.
- Keep turning aubergines every few minutes to stop the sugar from catching, brushing with more of miso paste when turning them. Aubergine should be very soft all the way through and coated with sticky glaze, which is just starting to catch at the edges and turn golden brown.
- Serve with sesame seeds and spring onions scattered over, the pickled mooli and some steamed rice on the side.
