Vegetable Kabobs Ingredients

I like to use these vegetables as the base of these skewers but you can easily mix and match based on what you have on hand!

  • Bell peppers
  • Corn
  • Zucchini
  • Mushrooms

Basil Vinaigrette Recipe

I like to drizzle my veggie kabobs with a simple basil vinaigrette. It adds lots of flavor and enhances the taste of these summer vegetables! Here’s what you need:

  • Olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Garlic powder
  • Lemon juice
  • Dijon mustard

How to Make Vegetable Kabobs

Slice the zucchini lengthwise and then cut into 1″ pieces. Slice the bell pepper into 2″ pieces. For larger mushrooms, slice in half. Cut the corn into thirds.

Layer the vegetables on the skewers. If you have trouble piercing the corn, use a wine corkscrew to pierce the center of the corn.

Grill on high for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are browned. Alternatively, you can roast the vegetables in the oven at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the vegetables are browned. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the basil vinaigrette.

Remove from the grill and drizzle with the basil vinaigrette.

Substitution Ideas

  • You can use any combination of bell peppers. I like to use a variety of colors.
  • Try using yellow squash instead of zucchini.
  • If you have trouble cutting or piercing the corn, you can grill the cobs separately and then serve them alongside the skewers.
