eats IF IT FILLS, IT GRILLS! BURGERS AREN’T THE ONLY THING TO GRILL THIS SUMMER. TAKE SOME OF YOUR GO-TO MEALS GRILLSIDE AND TASTE THE TRANSFORMATION. STORY BY RHETT JERRUM
To grill or not to grill Here are a few grillable foods that you might not have tried.
Avocado Cut your avocado in half and place grill side down. Grill for four to six minutes or until grill marks form and serve on taco night.
Banana For a sweet twist on campfire s’mores, cut a banana in its peel in half down the middle (not all the way through) and fill with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, marshmallows or all three and wrap in tinfoil. Place on the grill for five minutes for the ultimate banana boat.
Peach
Donut
The best time to grill a peach is after dinner when the grill is cooling down. Take your firm peach, cut it in half, brush with olive oil, and place on the grill for four to five minutes, uncovered. (Ripe peaches are too tender to grill and the sugar will burn too quickly.) Remove carefully with tongs and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Take your favorite dozen donuts and turn up the heat. Place your donut on the grill and leave for four to six minutes or until the grill marks form. A crispy version of a classic dessert. It’s easier than pie!
Pineapple
Strawberry
Marinate pineapple for at least 30 minutes in a resealable bag with honey, butter, hot sauce and salt. Cook until grill marks appear. Serve with fresh mint.
Ever tried strawberry skewers? The perfect summer snack. Soak your skewers in water for 15 minutes and thread your strawberries. Brush a melted butter and honey mixture onto each skewer and grill until lightly charred. Keep brushing them with your buttery mixture as they cook. Remove from grill and squeeze fresh lemon on top. These are a great salad topping or by themselves.
