When I think about summer grilling, the first things that usually comes to mind are burgers, steaks, chicken, whole fish, and the like. In a word: meat.

But there are so many other ingredients — hello, vegetables! — that are made all the better from a quick trip to the grill. Think: corn, peppers, asparagus, and the like in the summer; broccolini, squashes, Brussels sprouts, and more during the cooler months.

Here are 19 of our best grilled vegetable recipes — from charred okra with a fiery Sriracha lime salt to all sorts of smoky salads (we see you, grilled Caesar salad).
