Everything BBQ Platter

Sometimes its fun mixing everything together, all the flavours and textures and seeing how it all works together. Get creative and don’t be afraid to take a chance in the kitchen.

We had a BBQ for dinner the other night and I decided to take everything we were having and mixing it together on a bed of greens. The result was amazing. Fun way to enjoy delicious flavours. Since I was fasting I had been planning the sides all day and loved how they all turned out 😉

I’ll break down the individual components that I used, but really you can add in anything you’re having – just have fun and get creative.

Little Bit of Everything BBQ Platter:

A bed of mixed greens topped with:

Grilled Chicken

  • marinated with: garlic, ginger, lemon juice and spicy lime seasoning
  • grilled on the BBQ or oven
  • sliced

Spicy Sautéed Vegetables

  • you can use whatever vegetables you have, I used a combination of yellow pepper, red peppers, sugar snap peas and onions
  • sautéed in a little olive oil and a spicy seasoning blend – I used some Nandos seasoning

Corn niblets

  • I used canned corn but if you have fresh corn, grill it on the BBQ and cut off the niblets

Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

  • I used both orange and white sweet potatoes; sliced thin
  • toss slices with a little olive oil, garlic salt and paprika
  • bake in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, turning once half way

Hasselback Baked Potato: (my new favourite)

  • use a small potato and peel the skin or leave the skin on and wash well
  • thinly slice the potato making sure not to go through the bottom, leaving the potato whole but segmented
  • cover the potato all over with olive oil
  • sprinkle on seasonings of choice well; I used garlic salt, dried basil and chili powder
  • make sure oil and seasoning are all over including inside the segmented areas
  • bake in the over at 400°F for 30-40 minutes ( check to make sure they’re cooked through to the bottom)

Add some sliced grape tomatoes

Drizzle a balsamic glaze ( I got mine from well.ca and it’s become one of my favourite toppings)

Give this idea a try, you’ll love it!
