Ingredients
 

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced into 1 to 2-inch chunks
  • 1 green zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch circles
  • 1 yellow zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch circles
  • 1 red onion, sliced into 1 to 2-inch chunks
  • 1 small package button mushrooms, stems trimmed
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Pierce sliced veggies on the skewers in any preferred pattern (I typically alternate 2 slices of each) and generously mist all sides with olive oil spray. Alternatively, you can brush them with oil, too.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper all over and place on the grill set at medium-high for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating a few times while they cook. The veggies should be soft and lightly charred.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.
