Description
Simple and healthy veggie skewers grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
- 4 summer squash, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 pineapple, cored
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs Dijon mustard
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- pinches of salt and pepper
Instructions
- To get started place all of your cut veggies, the pineapple and the whole cherry tomatoes into a large bowl. Make your marinade by whisking together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the veggies and toss until fully coated. Cover and let marinade for at least a half hour but you can do this the night before and give the veggies lots of time to fully soak in the marinade.
- Before putting the veggies on the skewers, soak your skewers in cold water for 15 minutes. This stops them from splitting when you put the veggies on them. Add the veggies to the skewers and set on a large plate so they’re ready to grill! I place them on the skewers in this order: zucchini, squash, onion, pineapple, tomato. I repeat that twice per skewer so eat has two of all the veggies.
- At this point you’re ready to grill! You can just place the veggies on a medium high grill and just continuously rotate them every few minutes until their soft and slightly charred. They take about 15 minutes on our grill but it could very depending on your grill. Just keep an eye on them. Serve on top of rice or by themselves with a spoonful of yogurt!
