    What Is A Skewer?

    A skewer is a thin metal or wood stick used to hold pieces of food together. The word may sometimes be used as a metonym, to refer to the entire food item served on a skewer, as in “chicken skewers”.

    This recipe isn't complicated, and the seasonings done overwhelm the beautiful flavors of the veggies, but it adds just enough to really enhance and make them over the top delicious.  Plus, adding them to the grill to give the a nice smokey flavor. You can't go wrong.

    What Do I Need To Make Vegetable Skewers?

    For this recipe you'll need the following:
    1 red onion
    1 large zucchini
    1 large yellow squash
    1 yellow bell pepper
    1 orange bell pepper
    1 red bell pepper
    1 pint cherry tomatoes

    2 teaspoon garlic salt
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

    How Do You Make Parmesan Grilled Vegetable Skewers?

    1. Chop your veggies.  You want them to all be about 2 inches wide.
    2. Thread veggies onto your skewers.  I'm partial to the rainbow pattern.
    3. Brush all sides with olive oil.
    4. Sprinkle with garlic salt, black pepper, and parmesan cheese.
    5. Grill over medium high heat 3-4 minutes each side until fork tender.
     

    SKEWER OPTIONS

    There are a few options when it comes to picking your skewers.  There are metal ones, like I’ve used here; and there are wooden ones.  If you are opting for the later – prepare the wooden skewers by soaking them in water for 30 minutes prior to use.  This will prevent burning while cooking

    Grilled Vegetable Skewer Q&A

    Do you recommend metal or wooden skewers?

    I like metal skewers because I can use them over and over again.  They also don’t burn while cooking.  If you do use wooden, make sure you soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to using.

    How long do these last?

    These keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days.
