Grilled Pesto Potatoes, Beans, Peppers, Squash and Onions

Grilled Pesto Potatoes, Beans, Peppers. Squash and Onions

Grilled Pesto Potatoes, Beans, Peppers, Squash and Onions

These grilled potatoes are so delicious and easy to make too! You can make them early in the day if want so they are a perfect make ahead dish. Everything is pre-blanched so the finishing cooking time is only about 15 minutes depending on the heat level of your grill. For time saving I even bought the pesto already made. You could even buy the potatoes in the dairy case for another time saver. I really like having in the refrigerator ready to use whenever I want that flavor and my basil isn’t in season.

I use a grill basket like the one below to cook it on the grill with. You could wrap it in foil too if you don’t have a basket. I like the basket because it lets the vegetables get a little bit roasted which adds another texture to the dish.

You will notice in the recipe that I say to add the oil to the recipe right before adding it to grill basket. If you add it ahead of time it just soaks into the vegetables and doesn’t help the mixture to brown which is the only reason I am using it in the recipe. You can omit it if desired you just won’t get as good of color on the vegetables.
