Grilled vegetable kebabs recipe

Your favorite garden vegetables seared on the grill; a perfect side for beef, poultry, seafood, and eggs.

Grilled Vegetable Kebabs

You will need:

  • A variety of your choice of vegetables, such as onion, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and bell pepper.
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and fresh ground pepper
  • metal or wooden skewers.
  • One lemon cut in wedges

If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to keep them from burning.

  1. Wash vegetables and cut into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Thread a variety of vegetables on each of the prepared skewers.*
  3. Brush kebabs with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Grill over medium heat, occasionally turning and brushing with oil, 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and beginning to brown.
  5. Remove from grill and squeeze a little lemon juice over them.

*If the vegetables you have chosen slide or spin too easily on a single skewer, you can thread them on two parallel skewers to anchor them.
