星期一:Honey-Mustard Grilled Chicken with Foil Packet Green Beans

Cooking dinner in afoil packet= no dirty dishes to wash. In case you need more convincing, this satiating main only requires eight ingredients, and that’sincludingsalt and pepper.

Tuesday:Crispy Tofu Steaks with Broccoli Rabe and Romesco

With a bit of oil, you can easily grill these plant-based “steaks” instead of pan-frying them. Be sure to press the moisture out of thetofufor at least 30 minutes before grilling it; it’s key for getting the crispy exterior you crave.

Wednesday:Baked Sesame-Ginger Salmon in Parchment

Substitute parchment for foil and this simple, grillable dinner is within reach. Honey in the sesame-ginger marinade will caramelize just right atop thesalmon.(This recipe is also a great way to use up summer’s lastzucchini.)

Thursday:Black Bean Burgers with Guacamole and Griddled Onions

Vegetarians rejoice: These meatless patties are shockingly moist, tender and flavorful, a far cry from the hockey puck-likeveggie burgersof your past. A dollop ofguacamolemakes them even more indulgent (but we wouldn’t blame you for adding spicy mayo, too).

Friday:烤咖喱鸡大腿

Chicken thighsare prime for grilling because they’re nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you’ll be basting them in a five-ingredient curry sauce as they grill, so they’re bound to turn out super juicy.

Saturday:Crispy Cast Iron Skillet Pizza with Fennel, Sausage and Garlic

Pop your cast iron skillet on the grill grates—it can totally handle the heat. The easystore-bought doughis sure to bake to crispy perfection on the outside yet remain pillowy and soft in the middle. Serve with Caesar salad, Italian wedding soup or dressedarugula

Sunday:Skillet Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Potatoes

You’re only six ingredients away from your most impressive outdoor dinner of the year. It does require some forethought, since the chicken needs to brine in tenderizingbuttermilkfor at least four hours, but we promise the results will be well worth the wait.
