Grilling can bring out some of the best flavors of meats, fruits, and veggies, and there are thousands of different grilling recipes to choose from to suit any occasion. Whether you’re gearing up for the summertime grilling season or planning an early fall al fresco dinner party, here are some easy grilling recipes you can make at home. 

1. __Grilled artichokes__: The outer leaves and fuzzy choke (the unfurled bit that sits just above the heart) of grilled [baby artichokes](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-cook-and-eat-artichokes-easy-roasted-artichoke-recipe) are tender enough to be eaten; slice them in half lengthwise, brush with butter or olive oil and grill them until soft. 
2. __Grilled asparagus__: [Grilled asparagus](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-grill-asparagus) is a versatile side dish that can pair with a number of entrées. Coat your asparagus stalks with a high-heat oil and place directly on the grill in a single layer with tongs. 
3. __Grilled baby leeks__: [Leeks](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-are-leeks-how-to-cook-leeks-at-home) are an edible vegetable that is closely related to onions, garlic, scallions, chives, shallots, and Chinese onions. They taste like a mild version of an onion, with the same base flavor but far less intensity. To make [grilled leeks](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/gordon-ramsays-grilled-baby-leeks-recipe), baste them in some olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and lay them next to each other on the grill. Press the leeks with a heat-safe plate for at least two minutes on both sides. 
4. __Grilled broccolini__: Broccolini, also known as “baby broccoli,” is a delicate hybrid developed by a seed company in Japan between conventional broccoli and gai lan, a Chinese broccoli varietal. While regular broccoli has thick stalks and tightly packed crowns, broccolini feature slimmer, sweeter stalks, with looser florets, a few soft leaves, and bright yellow flowers. Though this side dish requires a close eye to cook perfectly, all [broccolini](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/easy-garlic-broccolini-recipe) needs to be is some olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simply season or marinate your broccolini in a baking dish, then throw it on your grill until it has reached your desired doneness. 
5. __Grilled chicken breast__: [Grilled chicken breasts](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-grill-chicken-breast-to-perfection) can be a quick and flavorful go-to for any time of the year. Let the chicken breasts marinate in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and fresh herbs overnight. Throw them on the grill, using tongs to flip the meat evenly until each piece is cooked through. If you don’t feel like marinating, simply season the chicken with Cajun or chipotle spices before grilling. Serve with a side of caramelized onions and rosemary sweet potatoes or a classic [potato salad](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/potato-salad-recipe). 
6. __Grilled garlic naan__: Garlic naan is a popular variation of Indian naan bread, a leavened flatbread, commonly served at Indian restaurants or celebrations. Plain yogurt gives the dough a pillowy, stretchy crumb, and cooking it over high heat gives naan bread its signature glossy, blistered surface, which is finished by brushing with ghee or butter. You can easily make this popular Indian side dish on your home grill. Serve grilled [garlic naan](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/garlic-naan-recipe) as a snack, or as an accouterment to curries or soups. 
7. __Grilled Japanese eggplant__: Japanese eggplant is a long and slender cultivar of eggplant with delicate dark purple skin and a mild, sweet flavor. Grilling [Japanese eggplants](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/grilled-japanese-eggplant-recipe) adds a layer of charred complexity to their mild sweetness.

8. __Grilled Japanese mackerel__: In Japanese cooking, [saba shioyaki](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/saba-shioyaki-recipe) is salt-grilled mackerel seasoned with sake. In Japan, saba shioyaki is traditionally grilled, but you can also make it in the oven, stovetop, or toaster oven for a quick weeknight dinner. 
9. __Grilled lamb chops__: Cooking [lamb chops](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-grill-lamb-chops) on your grill cooks them quickly and lends a smoky taste to the meat.

Serve with green beans or a piece of corn on the cob.

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the cut side of each piece of fruit with olive oil. Place the fruit cut-side down onto the grill grates, or pan. Let cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Gently flip the pieces and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the skins are lightly charred and the fruit is tender and warmed through. Remove, and serve with a scoop of ice cream and a pinch of flaky sea salt. 
13. __Grilled Portobello mushrooms__: Portobello mushrooms–which are the full-grown version of cremini mushrooms–are some of the most savory of the fungi–especially when cooked.

17. __Grilled Tandoori chicken__: Tandoori chicken is chicken that has been marinated in yogurt and spices.
