Instructions
Creating delicious Grilled Veggie Skewers is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and cut the vegetables into appropriate sizes. Make sure they are roughly uniform to ensure even cooking.
3. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate the Veggies: Place the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the veggies, tossing to coat evenly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
5. Assemble the Skewers: Take your skewers and begin threading the marinated vegetables onto them. Alternate the vegetables for a colorful presentation. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the veggies are cooked to your liking. They should be tender yet still have a slight crunch.
8. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the skewers from the grill using tongs. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
