Now that summer is in full force, grilling is the go-to cooking method. The typical grilled foods can get boring, so get creative and try some foods you wouldn’t normally think of to grill.

From savory to sweet, here are 14 foods you should be grilling this summer instead of meat:

I love avocados. Who doesn’t? Take your avocado game to a whole new level by grilling them. Because they’re naturally bowl-shaped, you can fill ’em up with all your favorite fixings.

Grill romaine lettuce heads for a new spin on leafy greens. Eat it straight off the grill drizzled with olive oil and seasonings or chop it up for an interesting take on caesar salad.

8. Brie

Grilled brie is the perfect appetizer for any summer BBQ or maybe just for snacking if you’re feeling fancy. Serve the brie with some grilled bread, crackers, or sliced veggies to make it slightly healthy.

Pineapple is tasty on its own, but try grilling it for a fun and simple dessert on a warm summer night. But first, you should probably learn how to cut a pineapple.

These grilled banana boats are positively decadent. Fill up the bananas with whatever toppings you want, wrap them in foil, and pop them on the grill for a warm, gooey, healthier dessert. If you don’t have a grill, you can make these in the toaster.

11. Strawberries
