Summertime grilling is here and I’ve partnered with Mazola® Corn Oil to share a fun new recipe. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, visit Mazola.com.
This Marinated Grilled Vegetables with whipped feta and honey is the perfect side dish for your next Mediterranean dinner.
Summertime grilling is here and I have a delicious summer grilling recipe that you can make in your kitchen, without a traditional grill!
For years I’ve wanted to grill at home, but without a grill (or a place to grill outside), it’s always been impossible.
Then I found a cast iron grill pan and everything changed.
I’ve been grilling up all kinds of fun recipes!
But something important that I learned early on is that you need the right oil when grilling, especially if you plan to grill in your kitchen.
Mazola Corn Oil has a high smoke point (450˚ F) which makes it great for grilling and stir-frying at high temperatures.
I’ve used it for all kinds of grilling recipes, from grilling vegetables for fajitas to cheese like halloumi for a salad to marinated veggies for a yummy greek veggie platter.
Mazola Corn Oil is a heart-healthy* cooking oil and creates marinades that make great-tasting food because it has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavor of your food stand out.
I always have at least 1-2 bottles on hand because Mazola® Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy choice for your family. A variety of uses include baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, or mixing up a marinade or dressing.
Mazola Corn Oil is my go-to ingredient for recipes that requires oil.
And I know we have a lot of summer grilling coming our way!
We planted our first garden last month and it’s filled with zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, squash, and a variety of other yummy veggies and fresh herbs.
And with how quick and easy these Marinated Grilled Vegetables were to whip up and grill, I have a feeling we will be making this recipe on repeat all summer long!
