Summer Vegetables

Grilled Vegetable Kabobs made with summer vegetables!

Summer vegetables should be celebrated, don’t you think?

We wait all year long for corn on the cob to be sweet and juicy. Zucchini and peppers are never as crisp and flavorful as they are in the summer months.

This is the time to make the most of our veggies and eat them in large quantities. Plus that fresh, crisp taste is also healthy for us, win!

Grilling is one of the best ways to cook vegetables in the summer because you keep the heat outside and your house cool.

The char offers a bit of smoky flavor, yet you can capture the veggies in a half-cooked state so you retain the fresh taste and texture.

Grilled Vegetables

Often I just throw vegetables straight on the grill, expecting to sacrifice a few to the flames.

Grilled corn is a favorite because it tastes amazing and doesn’t fall through the grates. It is also such a versatile ingredient! It can be used in salsa, guacamole, and even salad.

Yet, it’s fun to mix things up from time to time.

P.S. Let’s not limit the grill to just vegetables though. Peaches are a sweet and unexpected fruit to grill. Check out these fun recipes for grilled desserts: Grilled Peaches and Ginger Ice Cream & Grilled Fruit Salad with Creamy Lime Dressing!

Grilled Vegetable Kabobs

In today’s Grilled Vegetable Kabobs Recipe I literally “mixed things up” by cutting my corn cobs into short rounds and stringing them on skewers with:

  • fresh garden zucchini
  • bell peppers
  • red onions
  • mushrooms
  • and brussels sprouts

These veggies grill well over medium-low temperature. This ensures they don’t burn to a crisp, yet that the brussels sprouts get enough grill time.

P.S. It’s ok if the brussels sprouts are partially cooked as well.

Fajita Butter

Grilled Vegetable Kabobs transform into sheer veggie ecstasy with the addition of zesty “fajita butter” made with melted butter, a little lemon juice, and Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning Mix.

The fajita seasoning elevates the smoky grilled flavor and offers a bit of spice. It’s fabulous on the Grilled Vegetable Kabobs, yet can be used on all sorts of grilled summer veggies and fish!

Feel free to experiment with this new sauce/seasoning and let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

How To Grill Vegetables

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water before cooking. Then preheat the grill to medium-low heat.
2. Wash all the vegetables. Shuck the corn and cut into 1 1/2 rounds. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch rounds. Cut the bell pepper and onions into 1 1/2 inch square pieces, and discard pepper seeds. Trim the brussels sprouts. Work the vegetables onto the skewers in a random pattern.

3. Melt the butter and whisk with the Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning Mix and lemon juice. Fajita Butter transforms this dish from just grilled vegetables to something a little more special.

Metal Skewers Versus…

If using metal skewers: grill for 15 minutes, dry. Then brush with the fajita butter and grill another 5 minutes. Rotate the skewers every 3-5 minutes. Brush the remaining fajita butter over the skewers once off the grill.

I like to use metal skewers for this grilled vegetable kabobs recipe because it allows you to brush the fajita butter over the skewers while they are on the grill.

Wooden Skewers

If using wooden skewers: Grill the skewers dry for 20 minutes, rotating them every 3-5 minutes. Then remove the skewers from the heat and brush thoroughly with fajita butter. Serve warm!
I photographed this recipe using wooden skewers so you could see they work too. Just be sure to buy the thick sturdy wooden skewers, not the flimsy kind.
Soak them in water before using. Then brush the fajita butter over the Grilled Fajita Vegetable Kabobs once they come off the grill.
