Grilled Vegetables Skewers
Description
The vegetables are sliced into uniform pieces and alternately threaded on skewers to ensure even cooking. After brushing with extra virgin olive oil and seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, the skewers are grilled over medium heat with the lid closed. Turning every few minutes allows for gentle charring and tenderizing without burning. The result is vegetables that have a slight crisp exterior while remaining juicy inside.
This skewering and grilling technique is straightforward, preserving the individual flavors of each vegetable and enhancing them through smoke and caramelization. Such skewers serve well alongside grilled meats or as a main vegetarian option.
Using a mix of veggies provides a variety of textures from the sweet crunch of corn and bell pepper to the soft bite of mushrooms and onions, creating a balanced bite with every turn of the skewer.
Ingredients
- 1 ear corn , husk removed
- 1 zucchini
- 1 yellow summer squash
- ½ red bell pepper , seeded and cored
- ½ red onion
- 8 brown mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Prepare the grill with clean grates and preheat to medium heat, 350°F to 450°F. If using wooden skewers, prepare them by soaking in water for 10 minutes. If using metal skewers, no prep is necessary.
- Cut the vegetables into ½" slices or chunks. Thread the vegetables on the skewers alternating the veggies, until you've reached the end of the skewer. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables with the lid closed until tender and lightly charred, turning every 3-5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
