Jump to RecipeThis low sodium grilled vegetables recipe is bright, fresh, and loaded with flavor – all without salt! Enjoy a rainbow of veggies with bell peppers, asparagus, onion, mushrooms, and green beans – with a tasty lemon garlic sauce.
These grilled vegetables make a fantastic summer side dish, and are easy to cook on a cast iron skillet right on the grill!
I love serving these easy veggies alongside our low sodium burger patties, low sodium steaks, or low sodium salmon.
We love grilling all year long (even when it’s snowing!) and no low sodium grill out is complete for us without these tasty veggies. We usually grill up some low sodium grilled chicken or other meat with a salt-free rub, and throw on this wonderful vegetable medley while the grill is hot!
Start by chopping your vegetables, adding some spices and oil, and cooking them on a cast iron grill insert or skillet until tender. They are easy to make, and a fantastic way to get major flavor in your veggies!

Just a great combination and use of the vegetables that are plentiful now. So tasty
We used asparagus, green beans, yellow and red peppers, red onion and mushrooms – and grilled them on the griddle outdoors – there was not a veggie left in the bowl. Thanks for this recipe!
