Planning a Hawaiian Luau

When things heat up, grilling outdoors is a great way to spend time outside and enjoy the flavors of grilled foods. For our small gathering of family and friends I grilled up a Hawaiian Grilled Summer Vegetables Recipe with fresh summer veggies and pineapple to create some mini tropical “islands” on TRISCUIT crackers.

Hawaiian Grilled Summer Vegetables Recipe

Preparing grilled summer veggies is easy. Just wash, slice, and place them in a grill basket. Turn your grill up to medium heat and grill for four to five  minutes on both sides. If desired, you can add a bit of spray oil to the veggies for a crispier grill result.

Ingredients for Hawaiian Grilled Summer Vegetables Recipe

• TRISCUIT Original
• TRISCUIT Hint of Salt
• TRISCUIT Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil
• 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
• 1 Red Bell Papper
• 1 Orange Bell Pepper

I picked up all of the ingredients for this easy recipe at King Soopers. Locate a King Soopers near you using this link: Store Locater.

Directions for Hawaiian Grilled Summer Vegetables Recipe

Step 1: Wash and dry all the vegetables. Cut them into slices. Be careful not to cut them too small, so they stay inside the grill basket. I picked up our grill basket at King Soopers – the same grocery store where I picked up all of these fresh vegetables.

Step 2: Grill your Vegetables. Turn your grill to medium heat and wait a few minutes for it to warm up. Once it’s ready, spray some spray oil onto your veggies and place the basket directly on the grill. Close the lid. Grill on each side of the basket for 4-5 minutes on each side. You can add more spray oil for crispier grilled vegetables. You will also need to grill your pineapple slices.

Step 3: Keep the vegetables and pineapple warm. Place everything in the oven to keep it warm until all the vegetables are grilled.

Step 4: Assemble the “Tropical Island” appetizers. Cut the grilled veggies into smaller bite-sized pieces. Place the slightly larger pieces on top of a TRISCUIT cracker and add another smaller vegetable, a small piece of pineapple or both. Then take two baker’s syringes and add pineapple juice to one of them and soy sauce to the other. Squeeze a few drops of each of top of each and every cracker.

Each of these paired wonderfully with the vegetables and fruit.

• TRISCUIT Original
• TRISCUIT Hint of Salt
• TRISCUIT Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil

Step 5: Heat and Serve. I even topped a few of my “Tropical Islands” with a touch of shredded cheese. For these, I placed them in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Don’t be afraid to keep everything in the oven on warm for up to half an hour before you eat. TRISCUIT crackers are very hearty and will stay nice and crisp right up until you eat them.
