American-flavored grilled vegetable skewers perfect for a summer BBQ or a casual family gathering

  • Total Time: 52 minutes
  • Yield: Makes about 8 skewers, serving 4 people (2 skewers per person)

Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables:

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup button mushrooms

Optional:

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Vegetables: Place all the cut vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated vegetables alternately onto the skewers, packing them fairly tightly.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Serve: Garnish the skewers with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty flavor boost.
