Grilled Veggie Skewers

These easy Grilled Veggie Skewers are perfectly charred, drizzled with tangy balsamic vinegar and brushed with a fresh garlic herb sauce. Made with red onion, zucchini, and colorful bell peppers, these delicious vegetable skewers cook evenly thanks to their similar cooking time.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 medium red onion
• 4 medium zucchini (sliced)
• 2 red bell pepper
• 2 orange bell pepper
• 2 yellow bell pepper
• 2 green bell pepper
• olive oil (for brushing)
• Balsamic vinegar (for serving)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced)
• 3 tablespoon fresh cilantro (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (minced)
• salt (to taste)
• freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Soak approximately 8-12 wooden skewers in water for at least 15-30 minutes. The total number of skewers will vary depending on several factors, such as the size of each vegetable, the size of your vegetable pieces, etc.
2. 2Prepare the vegetables for the skewers. For each red onion, first peel, then slice in half. Chop each half into thirds, as if you were cutting a pizza (6 total pieces from one onion). Seed and chop each bell pepper into approximately 1-inch by 1-inch pieces. Finally, chop the zucchini into rounds.
3. 3Prepare the Garlic Herb Sauce- in a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4. 4Skewer the vegetables by alternating between red onion, zucchini, and the different colored bell pepper. Brush skewers with a light layer of olive oil.
5. 5Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, add skewers and grill for approximately 5-8 minutes per side, or until vegetables are just softening and browning around the edges.
6. 6Remove from heat, brush with garlic herb sauce and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, if desired. Enjoy!
