1medium red onion, sliced into 1 to 2-inch chunks
¼ to ½teaspoonkosher salt

Ingredient Details to Know
If the eggplant circles are much larger than the zucchini or squash slices, slice them in half. Keeping everything a semi-similar size helps ensure the veggies cook evenly and are easier to manage on the grill.
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for about 15 minutes, as this will prevent them from burning on the grill. Pierce the 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, topped with warm marinara sauce.
