Cooking the vegetables separately, rather than tossing them together in a wire basket, makes this side dish super kid-friendly. Family members can pick and choose their favourites, leaving less-loved veggies behind.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb small new potatoes
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1-2 large red sweet pepper
  • 4 green onions
  • 3 tbsp melted garlic butter , divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Cover with lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Gently boil until almost tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, snap woody ends off asparagus, and discard or save for soup stock. Wash asparagus; place on a large piece of heavy foil and seal tightly.
  • Cut red pepper into quarters. Trim roots from green onions and slice off about half of the green tops. Brush red pepper and green onions lightly with 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic butter.
  • Toss almost-cooked potatoes with remaining garlic butter and seasonings. Place asparagus package and cut vegetables on preheated barbecue. Turn vegetables often until just starting to brown, 10-15 minutes. Remove vegetables when golden and keep warm. Unwrap asparagus just before serving.
