The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility; feel free to select any vegetables that tickle your fancy. Whether you prefer the vibrant sweetness of orange bell peppers or the fresh crunch of zucchini, the options are endless.

It’s an incredibly simple yet tantalizing dish that is bound to impress your guests.

Instructions
-
Soak the Skewers: Begin by soaking your skewer sticks in water for approximately 10 minutes. This step is essential as it prevents the skewers from burning during the cooking process and ensures that your veggie skewers remain intact.
-
Prepare the Vegetables: After soaking the skewers, it’s time to assemble your colorful medley of vegetables. Slide the orange bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating each vegetable to create a visually appealing arrangement. This not only enhances the aesthetics but also allows the flavors to intermingle while grilling.
-
Season the Skewers: Once your vegetables are beautifully arranged on the skewers, drizzle them with olive oil and generously sprinkle with Montreal Chicken seasoning, or your preferred seasoning blend. Additionally, if desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavors further.
-
Grill the Skewers: Preheat your George Foreman grill or any indoor grill you are using. Grill the veggie skewers for about 10 minutes, turning them once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even grilling. Your vegetables are ready when they become tender and exhibit those lovely grill marks, which add both flavor and visual appeal.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled to perfection, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Serve these vibrant Good Veggie Skewers as a light and healthy side dish or a delightful appetizer at your next gathering. Enjoy the burst of flavors that each bite offers!
With their vibrant colors and fresh flavors, these Good Veggie Skewers are perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or simply as a healthy addition to your meals. Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of these skewers that are not only easy to prepare but also satisfyingly delicious!
