I find that vegetable skewers are a simple, easy side dish on the barbecue. You can use a variety of vegetables and the presentation is great!
Keep some long wooden skewers on hand. If you ever had vegetables in the fridge, it is something you can throw together last minute.
I like to soak the skewers for a bit before placing the vegetables on this. You can do this while you are washing and prepping the vegetables.
There are a variety of vegetables you can use… I love to include mushrooms (and vary the types of vegetables) and cherry tomatoes. Those two are always popular I find and great off of the grill!!! Additionally be sure to include a variety of colors. Some other good vegetable ideas are: zucchini, yellow squash, summer squash, any color bell pepper and hot peppers (warn your friends though!).
Just prep the vegetables, toss them in olive oil and salt (I advise good extra virgin olive oil and sea salt), put them on the skewers (don’t do two of a kind in a row, keep some variety) and place on the barbecue (medium high). I just eye them until they are done!
Serve on a nice platter arranged on the skewer.
