Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup button or cremini mushrooms
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
- Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper into chunks, slice the zucchini into thick rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes (optional), and cut the red onion into wedges.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Assemble the skewers by alternating vegetables: bell pepper, zucchini, mushroom, onion—repeat until filled.
- Drizzle olive oil over assembled skewers and season with salt and pepper. Massage the seasonings into the veggies.
- Grill skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender but still crisp.
- Serve immediately; drizzle with balsamic glaze or your favorite dipping sauce.
