Marinated Vegetables are next level delicous! This simple step is a great way to amp up the flavor and have everyone happily scarfing their veggies!
Marinating your vegetables is a great way to infuse them with loads of extra flavor!
It’s my #1 trick for getting friends that aren’t crazy about plain veggies to completely clear their plates.
These are just a few examples, but when it comes to marinating veggies – anything goes! (same goes for pickling vegetables – YUM!)
Feel free to experiment with your favorite veggies and try something new.
Recently I stared marinating my red onion instead of pickling it and I’m OBSESSED! It takes the “bite” out of the onion while still highlighting it’s flavor. Simple drizzle a little red wine vinegar and olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper. It’s delicious!
Marinated Vegetables – 5 Ways!
Let’s get our veggie on!
1. Marinated Cherry Tomatoes
These Marinated Cherry Tomatoes are so flavorful you’ll want to put them on EVERYTHING! We love them straight up as well as with crusty baguette or pita bread for a next level bruschetta that is totally crave-worthy!
2. Marinated Chickpeas with Tomatoes and Cucumber
Fun and flavorful, these Marinated Chickpeas transform a plain can of garbanzo beans into the most magical and delicious side dish!
Vegan and Vegetarian versions available so feel free to add or skip the feta – it’s great both ways and doubles as the most delicious salad topper!
3. Marinated Mushrooms
Skip the jar and whip up these quick and easy 10 Minute Marinated Mushrooms at home! They’re great enjoyed right away and even better after spending some quality time in this delicious homemade marinade!
4. Marinated Greek Salad
A scrumptious side salad that will totally rock your plate, this Marinated Greek Salad has a totally tasty blend of veggies and dressing! The longer this salad sits the better it gets!
5. Marinated Tomatoes
Great on fluffy focaccia, salads, crostini, and more, these Marinated Tomatoes are a must make!
I love using plum (Roma) tomatoes but they’re always amazing with heirloom or regular tomatoes too – any variety really! I love adding onions and a bit of balsamic for some added flavor and flair.
