What are the best vegetables for grilled vegetable skewers?

There are so many options! I use zucchini, bell peppers, red onions, and mushrooms, but you can also add grape or cherry tomatoes, baby potatoes, sweet potatoes, small rounds of fresh corn on the cob, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts, and any of your favorite vegetables. I recommend using vegetables that cook quickly and cutting them into similar sizes so they cook evenly.

How long to grill veggie kebabs?

Not long. Preheat the grill to 450 F, then grill for 5-7 minutes per side until they're slightly charred and tender.

What should you marinate vegetables in for kabobs?

I recommend keeping it simple. You need a little fat to help with the caramelization process and your favorite seasonings to flavor the chopped vegetables. I like to make a simple marinade with olive oil, fresh garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and a little Italian seasoning. You can also add lemon juice or zest, a little vinegar, and your favorite fresh herbs.
