Just because it’s a cookout, doesn’t mean it has to be unhealthy. There’s a lot of ways you can add vegetables to your propane gas grilling in Rocky Mount, NC. As NPR reports,
“But Americans just don’t eat as many fruits and vegetables as we should. And when we do, they’re mainly potatoes and tomatoes — in the not-so-nutritious forms of french fries and pizza, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture”
The kinds of food you can make on your propane gas grill in Rocky Mount, NC is limitless. Other than corn and the occasional squash, you probably don’t grill a lot of veggies right? There’s a whole world of vegetables you can make on the grill, but it can be easy to fall in the same old routine. With that in mind, here are 3 fresh ways to add more green to your grill.
1. Make Dips and Salsa
Whether you’re making salsa, artichoke dip, corn dip, or any other dip for your next party, throw those veggies on the grill before you implement them into the dish. That fresh grilled taste will add so much more. You can even use a smoker to add the ideal smoking flavors. For tips on using a smoker, check out this blog post.
2. Try Adding Some Green Tomatoes

Throw some peppers and jalapeños on the grill with it, and you have a nice hot dish, potentially to heat up Valentine’s Day with. For inspiration, check out this recipe via Bon Appetit.
