Print Recipe

These colorful grilled vegetable skewers are packed with smoky flavor and vibrant textures. Juicy mushrooms, tender zucchini, crisp bell peppers, and sweet onions are marinated and grilled to perfection—perfect as a healthy side, vegetarian entrée, or BBQ party dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cremini or button mushrooms, whole
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow onion, quartered and separated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden, soak in water 30 minutes prior)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  4. Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating for color and variety.
  5. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Use a mix of colorful vegetables for visual appeal and varied taste.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • These skewers can also be cooked under a broiler if a grill is not available.
