Description
A vibrant Mediterranean side dish featuring crisp bell peppers, tender zucchini, sautéed onions, earthy mushrooms, and sweet cherry tomatoes. Enhanced with olive oil, Italian herbs, and garlic powder for a light, charred flavor perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
3 medium bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, and green)
2 large zucchini
1 large red onion
8 oz mushrooms (cremini or white button)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning mix
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F)
Cut bell peppers into bite-sized strips
Slice zucchini into thick rounds, keeping the cores intact
Peel and cut red onion into wide wedges
Toss all vegetables with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until fully coated
Thread vegetables onto metal or soaked bamboo skewers in a single layer
Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating occasionally until charred and tender
Serve warm as a side or with a drizzle of balsamic glaze
Notes
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning
Add cherry tomatoes last (2-3 minutes grilling time) to avoid overcooking
For smokier flavor, char the vegetables more by lowering the grill rack
