Grilled foods don’t have to be fatty and calorie-dense. Here are quick and easy grilled recipes that all figure-conscious eaters can enjoy!
The first healthy grilled dish that won’t harm your figure is cod seasoned with herbs. How to prepare it before you throw it on the grill? It is very simple. First we need to gut the fish and remove the head, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. The next step is to rub the cod with olive oil and lemon juice. It is worth putting two cloves of garlic inside the fish and then put it in the fridge for 2 hours so that the cod “goes through” the marinade. What is the next step? Remove the fish about 30 minutes before grilling – place on aluminum foil with a little butter and sprinkle with herbs. Wrap the whole thing tightly in foil and grill for 20-25 minutes. Grilled cod will taste best with fresh bread.
Another low-calorie and easy-to-prepare barbecue dish are vegetable skewers – how to prepare them? Just cut up zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and red onions into pieces. Then brush the vegetables with oil and sprinkle with spices (salt, pepper, rosemary, hot bell pepper will work best). Finally, put the vegetable pieces on the sticks and grill for about 15 minutes, turning the skewers from time to time, so that each side is well browned. They are sure to be enjoyed by everyone, not only people on a diet.
Salmon burgers are also an interesting diet proposal for a barbecue party. In order to prepare this dish, we need to grind salmon fillet and mix it with crushed canned red beans. Then, season to taste with freshly chopped chives and your favorite spices (e.g. oregano, basil). The next step is to form the burgers – once you have the right shape, throw them on the grill and bake for a few minutes on each side. Instead of using white bread buns, we can top the burgers with butter lettuce – this will be easier on the stomach and healthier!
Another suggestion for a delicious snack from the grill that doesn’t have too many calories is grilled eggplant slices. Simply cut the vegetable into large slices, sprinkle with salt and leave for about 30 minutes to let the pieces release their juice. In the meantime, we can prepare the yogurt sauce. Just mix feta, yogurt and garlic (crushed in a press), then season with salt and pepper. After half an hour, brush the slices with a little olive oil and put the eggplants on the grill. When they are browned, remove them and serve with the sauce.
Preparing grilled new potatoes in Provence is trivial. Just scrub the new potatoes well, boil them in their skins (for about 10 minutes in salted water) and then sprinkle them with salt, herbs de Provence and rosemary needles. Then add a little butter, wrap the vegetables in aluminum foil and place on the grill. After about 10-15 minutes the potatoes will be ready to eat
The last dietary dish is grilled chicken in yogurt marinade. To prepare the marinade, we need to combine natural yogurt with pressed garlic (number of cloves at your discretion). Add sweet paprika, bell pepper and salt. Mix the mixture thoroughly. Then soak a few chicken wings in the marinade and leave for 60 minutes. After this time, put the wings on the grill and grill for about 30 minutes, until they are nicely browned. Enjoy!
We hope that thanks to our simple and quick to prepare recipes you will enjoy your grilled delicacies without remorse.
