Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

3 sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch slices

3 corn cobs, cut into 2-inch sections

1 eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices

12 green onions, trimmed

Directions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning food preparation.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil with the finely chopped garlic. Stir well to distribute the garlic evenly throughout the oil.

  3. Add the sweet potato slices, corn sections, eggplant slices, and trimmed green onions to the bowl with the garlic oil. Toss all vegetables gently but thoroughly until evenly coated with the oil mixture.

  4. Transfer the coated vegetables to a grill grate or broiler pan in a single layer, arranging them for even heat exposure.

  5. Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat (or under the broiler) for approximately 10 minutes total, turning them twice during cooking. The vegetables are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork and have light charring on the edges.

  6. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving platter.

  7. Serve immediately while the vegetables are still warm.

All ingredients are stocked year-round at any Charlotte grocery chain, with sweet potato and corn being especially fresh and cheap during NC growing season. The stated time is honest for cutting and grilling; a 30-minute total is realistic with no hidden complexity. At $1.50–$2.00 per serving, this is a solid weeknight side, though it requires a grill and constant attention to prevent charring. The main drawback is that grilled vegetables do not reheat well the next day, so this is strictly a same-night dish for six people.
