May is National BBQ Month, and this week the Festive Foodies and I will be sharing lots of great recipes that will be perfect to serve at your next get together! I'm kicking things off with some grilled Brussels sprouts. I was never a big fan of them until I tried them roasted, and I've been waiting patiently for the weather to turn seasonally appropriate to make them on the grill.
I was able to get my hands on fresh Brussels sprouts, but you can definitely use frozen or steam in bag if you can't. I used red and yellow bell peppers and Bermuda onions because I think it made for a pretty presentation.
I found it easier to brush the veggies with the oil and season them after I'd placed them on the grill, but be sure to watch for flare ups if you do it that way! Normally I'd use metal skewers, but I was unable to locate them. Be
sure to soak the wooden variety very well. I rushed mine, and they were
getting a bit charred on the ends. You don't want to have your
beautiful meal go up in flames!
Thank you so much for joining me for #BBQWeek! Be sure to go and check out the recipes from all the amazing bloggers using the links down below.
