My fav is grilled veggies on the bbq..eggplant, squash, zucchini, tomatoes....just a little EVVO and kosher salt. YUM
We eat a lot of swiss chard, but we mix it w potatoes so im guess this is not an option for you.
Other than that its mostly asparagus, spinich or green beans sauteed in a lil oil with bread crumbs on top.

this is actually one of my favorite things to do. SImple. I also LOVE even more making them a little burnt with Salt and freshly ground pepper in EVOO!
I've been having this dilema too but we've done:
Zucchini with Tastefully Simple Seasoning salt on the grill- YUM
Peppers and onions on the grill in Italian dressing
Chickpea salad
roasted sweet potatoes on the grill
tonight I just cut up fresh garden tomatoes, spread mayo and added S&P on them.
the other night we did diced garden tomatoes, diced mozz., rdiced ed onion, balsamic vinegar & evoo with s&p
TJs also has delicious veggies already marinated and ready to go in freezer section that are delicious.

I love swiss chard and potato mixed together. You boil it together I would do 2 heads of swiss chard to 1 potato. When it is done you add a couple of cloves of garlic and olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and mash it together. So good.
I also like boiled asparagus and make it into a warm salad with just vinegar, olive oil and salt.

Re: Bored of all my veggie side dishes. Can you please share yours?
I just made this the other day and loved it! The first time I made it, we had no feta so I used Pecorrino Romano cheese. Different taste but it was good.
Spinach and tomatoes with feta cheese
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
3/4 cup(s) onion(s), chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
18 oz spinach, baby leaves
1/4 tsp table salt
1 cup(s) grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup(s) crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Heat oil in a large deep pot over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring often, until light golden and tender, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add spinach and salt; cook, tossing, until spinach wilts, about 2 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook, stirring, until tomatoes soften, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and drain off any extra liquid; stir in feta. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
