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.

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:

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.

HAWAIIAN CHICKEN KEBABS - WEIGHT WATCHERS



Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs - Weight Watchers image

My family thought this was really good. When I made this recipe I used a large yellow pepper, and a large regular onion. I doubled the chicken and marinade. I also marinaded the vegetables with the meat and pineapple. I didn't put these on skewers I put them on foil straight on my gas grill rack. I got this recipe from Weight Watchers.
