1. Edamame

Steaming is basic. Smoky, salty, and addictive, roasted peas in the pod are the ideal summer snack. Sprinkle with salt and desired seasonings, then roast in a shallow baking dish for 15 minutes or until brown.

2. Pineapple

Super-simple, and beyond delicious, this sugary-citrus grilled pineapple can be eaten as a side dish or served as a dessert. Slice the fruit into rings and coat with lime juice and honey, and grill each side for two minutes. Top your burger patties with this grilled fruit to take your burger to the next level, or top with a scoop of ice-cream.

3. Brussels Sprouts

If Brussels sprouts aren’t your thing, give them another try. Toss the buds in olive oil, salt, and pepper and pierce the vegetables to make skewers, leaving a 1-inch space between each sprout. Grill for 15 minutes, turning frequently.

6. Peaches

This summer fruit is delicious frozen, fresh, and hot off the grill. Slice ripe peaches into halves and drizzle olive oil over top. Grill for about 4 minutes, until softened and charred. Add a spoon of Mascarpone cheese to the center of each peach and top with honey and brown sugar. Yum.
