Spicy Grilled Veggies Food

SPICY ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, eggplant, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion, cayenne, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 10 minutes.

SPICY HERB GRILLED WINGS WITH VEGGIE CHIPS

Steps:

• For the chips: Thinly slice both potatoes using a mandoline or vegetable slicer, about 1/16 inch thick. Transfer to a medium bowl and run under cold water until almost all the white starch comes off and the water runs clear. Drain the potatoes well and pat very dry with paper towels. Dry the bowl as well.
• Return the dry potatoes to the bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until evenly coated.
• Preheat the air fryer of a smart countertop grill to 315 degrees F. Shingle the potato slices in the bottom of the basket; it's OK if there are two layers. Cook until the potatoes are golden around the edges and crisp, tossing every 5 minutes with tongs to evenly cook, 20 to 25 minutes. If you notice a few chips are finished cooking and completely crisp before others, remove to a bowl and continue air frying the remaining slices. (Do not cook longer than 25 minutes, they will continue to crisp as they cool.)
• Meanwhile, thinly slice both beets on the mandoline, about 1/16 inch thick. Transfer to another medium bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until evenly coated.
• Return the air fryer to 320 degrees F. Shingle the beet slices in the bottom of the basket; it's OK if there are two layers. Cook until the beets are darkened around the edges and crisp, tossing every 5 minutes with tongs to cook evenly, about 30 minutes. If you notice a few slices are finished cooking and completely crisp before the others, remove to a bowl and continue air frying the remaining pieces. (Do not cook longer than 30 minutes, they will continue to crisp as they cool.)
• Combine the beet chips and potato chips in a large bowl, season with the Parmesan, rosemary and a pinch of salt and toss to combine.
• For the wings: Pour about 1 inch of olive oil into a small pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the rosemary and cook, turning the sprigs, until the leaves darken and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sage to the same pan and cook until the leaves darken, slightly curl and stop sizzling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Combine the cumin, red pepper flakes, peppercorns and garlic powder in a dry medium skillet over low heat. Toast the spices, tossing constantly to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from their stems. Put the rosemary leaves, sage leaves, toasted spice mixture and 2 teaspoons salt in a spice grinder and pulse until finely chopped and combined.
• Massage the wings with the herb rub and place them on a baking sheet. Let the rub set at room temperature, about 30 minutes. While the wings rest, preheat the grill of a large indoor grill with air fryer to high.
• Transfer the wings to the grill and cover. Cook until golden and completely cooked, flipping halfway through, about 15 minutes total. Serve warm with the chips and blue cheese dressing for dipping.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SPICY VEG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, oil and vinegar and whisk together. Whisk in the sugar, garlic and jalapeno. Pour half into a medium bowl and half into a large bowl. Add the shrimp to the medium bowl and toss.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside. Add the carrots, and cucumbers, zucchinis and beets to the dressing and toss until very coated. Fold in the mint, cilantro and scallions. Sprinkle with the peanuts and top with the grilled shrimp. Serve immediately.

SPICY GRILLED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.
• Mix butter and lemon pepper. Brush on potato, zucchini, squash, bell peppers and onion.
• Cover and grill vegetables 4 inches from medium heat 10 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until tender.
• Line platter with lettuce. As vegetables become done, remove from grill to platter. Sprinkle with dressing. Serve warm.

SWEET-AND-SPICY GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Put raisins or apricots in a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, honey, fish sauce or colatura (if using), red-pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until the mixture reduces slightly, about 3 minutes. Immediately pour over the raisins and let cool. Taste and stir in a little more honey if the sauce is too harsh. (Sauce can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
• Prepare the vegetables: Oil the grill grate and light the grill. Have a serving platter at the ready.
• Grill the peppers, zucchini, eggplant and corn directly on the grate, in batches if necessary, and turning them as needed. Move them around the grate so they cook evenly. Cook until they are lightly charred, watching them carefully, 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the vegetable.
• To grill the mushrooms and asparagus, place them in a grilling basket if you have one, or put directly on the grill. (Arrange the asparagus perpendicular to the grates so they don't fall through.) Grill, turning as needed, until charred all over, 6 to 10 minutes. Grill the cherry tomatoes, using the vine as a handle if possible, for 1 to 2 minutes, until they start to burst and char slightly. Transfer all the vegetables as they cook directly to the serving platter.
• Add the cheese to the platter next to the vegetables. Immediately drizzle everything with some of the sauce, stirring it up to get the raisins, and with olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper and scatter the herbs generously on top. Serve the extra sauce and the bread alongside for making crostini with some of the vegetables and more of the tangy sauce.

GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and red pepper flakes.
• Saute for 1 minute.
• Whisk in the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, sugar and water, cooking for 2 minutes.
• Add a touch of water-you want the sauce to be the consistency of hot fudge sauce.
• Keep warm over low heat.
• Heat your grill to medium high heat.
• Slice the eggplant 1/2 inch thick.
• Brush both sides with oil and lightly salt.
• Grill for 8-10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
• Brush lightly with sauce and serve with remaining sauce.
