Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 bell peppers, preferably of different colors
1 bunch small spring onions or scallions
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
  • Warm the teriyaki sauce and sugar together in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

  • Thread the vegetables on six skewers, 2 pieces of pepper for every 1 piece of onions. Grill the vegetables until charred in spots and lightly cooked, about 6 minutes. Baste both sides of the skewers with the glaze a few times, turning often so that it chars in spots, about 1 minute. Transfer the skewers to a platter and drizzle the remaining glaze on top.

GRILLED VEGETABLES SKEWERS



Grilled Vegetables Skewers image

I most often use metal skewers for threading veggies, but bamboo skewers will work too. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 15-30 minutes so they don't burn on the grill.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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 1/2" 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.

VEGGIE SKEWERS

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 red, yellow, or orange bell peppers (or a combination of), cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch slices
1 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch slices
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 pinches salt
10 to 15 grinds pepper
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 medium red onion, cut into 2-inch chunks*
wooden or metal skewers

Steps:

  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in plenty of water for about 10 minutes if grilling on an indoor grill pan or for 30 minutes if grilling on an outdoor grill to prevent them from burning up.
  • Place all of the veggies in a large bowl or baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic. With your hands, toss to combine well. Stick onion pieces in with the vegetables to coat with the marinade; avoid tossing once onion is added so that the onion does not fall apart.
  • Alternate the vegetables with the onions on wooden or metal skewers. The onions will get nice and juicy rubbing up against the other veggies. You can do this up to a few hours before you grill them.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Arrange the skewers on the grill pan and cook, turning often, until slightly charred, about 15 minutes. Remove from grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
  • *Cook's Note: To get skewer-able chunks of onions, cut the onions in half through the core and then cut each half into quarters. Remove 2 or 3 of the innermost layers, leaving the larger outermost layers. They will fit nicely on your skewers.

GOOD VEGGIE SKEWERS



Good Veggie Skewers image

I made this for our Memorial Day dinner. We don't have a regular grill because they are not allowed at our apartment complex, but even on a George Foreman grill, they came out really good. You can use any type of vegetable you like, and if you want more seasoning, or don't like the Montreal Chicken seasoning, you can use any type you like. Very easy, and tasty.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 wooden skewer sticks
1 orange bell pepper
1 onion, cut into chunks
1 yellow squash, cut into thick slices
1 zucchini, cut into thick slices
1 pint cherry tomatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons grillmates Montreal roasted garlic chicken seasoning
salt & pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak the skewer sticks in water for about 10 minutes.
  • Slide veggies onto the skewers, alternating them.
  • Sprinkle them with salt and pepper before grilling, if desired.
  • Grill for 10 minutes, turning once, or until they are tender.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Soft vegetables like tomatoes and zucchini are more likely to fall apart on the skewers.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Preheat the grill: A hot grill will help the vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
  • Oil the grill grate: This will prevent the vegetables from sticking.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches: Do not overcrowd the grill, or the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Turn the vegetables occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Vegetable skewers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious vegetable skewers that your whole family will love.
