A colorful and healthy recipe featuring a variety of fresh vegetables threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection. These grilled vegetable skewers are seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper, making them a perfect side dish for summer barbecues or a light vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 ear corn, husk removed
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 yellow summer squash
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cored
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 8 brown mushrooms

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill: Clean the grill grates thoroughly and preheat the grill to medium heat, approximately between 350°F and 450°F. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning. Metal skewers require no preparation.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Cut all vegetables into uniform 1/2 inch slices or chunks to ensure even cooking. This includes slicing the corn, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onion, and cleaning the mushrooms.
  3. Assemble the skewers: Thread the vegetable pieces onto the skewers, alternating different types to create a colorful arrangement. Continue until the skewer is filled but not overcrowded.
  4. Season: Drizzle the skewered vegetables evenly with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables for seasoning.
  5. Grill the skewers: Place the vegetable skewers on the preheated grill with the lid closed. Cook until the vegetables are tender and have light char marks, turning the skewers every 3 to 5 minutes to cook evenly on all sides. This process usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve them warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or a light meal.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
  • Cuts should be uniform in size for even cooking.
  • These skewers can be served as a vegetarian main dish or side.
  • Feel free to add your favorite marinade or herbs for additional flavor.
  • For an indoor option, these vegetables can be cooked on a grill pan or broiled in the oven.
