Top 10 Store-Bought Vegetable Seasonings available at DDR BBQ Supply for grilled, roasted, smoked, and air-fried vegetables. The right vegetable seasoning can turn simple potatoes, corn, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, and other vegetables into a side dish that's every bit as good as the meat coming off the grill.
Whether you're grilling vegetables over charcoal, roasting them in the oven, cooking them on a griddle, or adding a pan of vegetables to the smoker, these store-bought vegetable seasonings make it easy to add consistent flavor. Our favorites include garlic and herb blends, savory all-purpose seasonings, smoky BBQ rubs, spicy blends, and other seasonings that pair naturally with vegetables.
Why Choose Store-Bought Vegetable Seasonings?
A quality store-bought vegetable seasoning gives you a balanced combination of salt, garlic, pepper, herbs, spices, and other flavors without having to measure several individual ingredients. Simply add a little oil when appropriate, sprinkle on your seasoning, and your vegetables are ready for the grill, smoker, oven, griddle, or air fryer.
Pre-blended seasonings also make it easy to change the flavor depending on what vegetables you're preparing. Use garlic and herbs for asparagus or zucchini, a savory seasoning for mushrooms and potatoes, or reach for smoky, spicy, or BBQ-inspired blends when you're cooking vegetables alongside ribs, brisket, burgers, or chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegetable Seasonings
What is the best store-bought seasoning for vegetables?
The best store-bought vegetable seasoning depends on what you're cooking and the flavor you prefer. Garlic, herbs, salt, and black pepper make an excellent all-purpose combination, while smoky BBQ, spicy, citrus-inspired, and savory blends can give grilled or roasted vegetables a completely different flavor.
What seasonings go well with vegetables?
Garlic, onion, black pepper, paprika, herbs, chiles, and seasoned salts all work well with vegetables. Because different vegetables have different flavors, it's worth experimenting with several blends to find the combinations you prefer.
What is the best seasoning for grilled vegetables?
Savory garlic and herb blends, all-purpose seasonings, BBQ rubs, and smoky seasonings are excellent choices for grilled vegetables. A light coating of oil can help the seasoning adhere while also helping vegetables brown as they cook over the heat.
What is the best seasoning for roasted vegetables?
Garlic, herbs, black pepper, paprika, onion, and savory seasoning blends all work well on roasted vegetables. Potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can handle a generous amount of seasoning before going into the oven.
What seasoning is good on corn on the cob?
Corn works with everything from simple salt, pepper, and garlic to BBQ rubs, chile seasonings, and sweet-and-spicy blends. Season it before grilling or add butter and another light sprinkle of seasoning after cooking for even more flavor.
What seasoning is good on potatoes?
Potatoes pair especially well with garlic, onion, black pepper, herbs, paprika, seasoned salts, and smoky or spicy BBQ blends. These seasonings work on grilled potatoes, roasted potatoes, fries, wedges, baked potatoes, and potatoes cooked on a griddle.
Should you season vegetables before or after cooking?
You can season vegetables before cooking, after cooking, or both. Seasoning before grilling or roasting allows the spices to cook with the vegetables, while a light sprinkle of seasoning or finishing salt afterward can provide another noticeable layer of flavor.
Can BBQ rub be used on vegetables?
Absolutely. Many BBQ rubs work extremely well on vegetables. Sweet and smoky rubs can complement corn, carrots, and sweet potatoes, while savory and pepper-forward seasonings are excellent on mushrooms, potatoes, asparagus, zucchini, and other grilled vegetables.
Can vegetable seasoning be used on meat?
Yes. Many vegetable seasonings are versatile all-purpose blends that also work well on chicken, pork, beef, seafood, eggs, and other savory foods. Garlic, herbs, pepper, onion, and seasoned salt blends are particularly useful across both vegetables and proteins.
