Grilled Vegetable Kabobs With Rice Food

THE BEST GRILLED VEGGIE KABOBS

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish or pan and set aside. Alternatively, you can add them to a large plastic bag and marinate that way.
• Cut peppers, onion and zucchini into large chunks. The mushrooms and tomatoes should be small enough to put on whole.
• Add pieces of the veggies onto a kabob skewer. Any combo is fine, I used about 16 pieces of veggie per kabob.
• Add the skewers to the dish/pan or the bag if using that method.
• Allow the skewers to marinate while you prepare the sides. Allow them to sit at least 15-20 minutes. You can also make this the night before and allow to marinate overnight. The longer you marinate, the more flavor the kabobs will have.
• Cook the kabobs. I like using an outside grill because it gives a lot of flavor. I cooked them over a medium flame for 7 minutes on one side, then flipped and cooked another 7 minutes.
• You can also cook them on a pan or oven bake them. If you bake them I suggest baking at 400 for about 10-15 minutes.
• Serve with sides of choice! You can also put the veggies in a wrap or pita.
