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.

GRILLED VEGETABLES SKEWERS
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.

GOOD VEGGIE SKEWERS
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.

GARLIC PARMESAN GRILLED VEGGIE SKEWERS
This flavorful recipe is one that takes little time to execute and is sure to please most any veggie lover! It is inspired by the Grilled Garlic and Parmesean Veggie Skewers at Logan's Steak House, but is my own recreation of their recipe. This recipe can be used with a variety of vegetables, I suppose, but my personal favorites are those that I've included in the recipe. (Mushrooms make a pretty good addition). All the ingredients are approximate and can be tweaked to any cook's liking! I hope you enjoy; Bon Appetite! :)

SUMMER VEGETABLE SKEWERS
Of all the possible vegetables to grill on skewers, zucchini and eggplant are some of the best, turning velvety soft and richly flavored as they sear over the flames. In this recipe, they're quickly marinated in oregano, garlic and olive oil while the grill heats, then brightened with plenty of fresh lemon juice just before serving. Salting them for 10 or so minutes before grilling helps season them through and through, but you can skip that step if you're short on time.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to high. With a colander set in the sink, lightly sprinkle the eggplant or zucchini with a little salt. Toss well and set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Pat vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and add to the bowl. Gently toss to coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
- Thread vegetables onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), keeping the eggplant and zucchini on separate skewers, if using both vegetables. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
- When the grill is hot, add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Brush with remaining marinade and squeeze a lemon wedge all over. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to create colorful and flavorful skewers.
- Choose vegetables that are firm and will hold up well on the skewers.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Marinate the vegetables in a flavorful mixture before grilling.
- Grill the vegetables over medium heat so that they cook through without burning.
- Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce or dressing.
Conclusion:
Veggie skewers are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for summer grilling, but can also be cooked in the oven or on a stovetop. With so many different vegetables to choose from, the possibilities are endless. So get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite veggie skewer recipe.
