Ingredients
Tools
- 20 skewers wooden or bamboo soaked in water for 2 hours
Veggies
- 1 pint white button mushrooms
- 6 small zucchini cut as large slanted wedges
- 3 large red onion cut into 1 x 1 inch dice and separated
- 1 large red bell pepper deseeded & cut into 1 x 1 inch large dice
- 1 large yellow bell pepper deseeded & cut into 1 x 1 inch large dice
- 1 large orange bell pepper deseeded & cut into 1 x 1 inch large dice
Marinade
- 2 tablespoon garlic pressed
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon sea (or kosher) salt
- 2½ tablespoon lemon juice (half large lemon)
- 1 cup olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 1 hour prior to grilling (to help prevent skewers from burning too quickly).
- In a large mixing bowl combine the mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, red, yellow and orange pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl add garlic, rosemary, salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Whisk together until combined. Pour marinade over vegetables and mix with hands (or spatula) to combine.
- Start by sticking an onion slice to the skewer as the base, then alternate with pepper, onion, mushroom, onion, zucchini and repeat until skewer is full. (Leave a 2 inch gap at the base for easy handling / grilling). Repeat this process until all vegetables are skewered. Save the marinade to brush onto skewers while grilling.
- Grill on the barbecue on medium high heat for 4 minutes on each side or until some char develops and vegetables have softened a bit.

Notes
How do I grill the veggies so they cook evenly?
It's in the size of your vegetable cuts. Cut them approximately 1 x 1 inch even size cubes (or leave whole if they already come in that size).
Do I need to soak the wooden skewers?
I like soaking the skewers in water for at least 2 hours before using them. When the water is absorbed by the wood (or bamboo) it helps to reduce the sticks from burning too quickly while grilling.
What to do with left-overs?
Oh the possibilities! Vegetable soup, stir fry, cold salad, omelette, quiche, sandwiches .... any dish that calls for vegetables add these left over vegetables for a little extra flavour!
