Instructions
-
Prepare the skewers: Begin by threading the mushroom caps, zucchini slices, yellow bell pepper chunks, and red onion pieces onto 12-inch skewers, arranging them in a colorful, alternating pattern.
-
Prepare the butter mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, margarine, fresh basil, and garlic powder until fully combined. Set aside 1/4 cup of the butter mixture for later use.
-
Grease the grill rack: Before placing the skewers on the grill, generously grease the grill rack with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the kabobs: Place the prepared skewers on the greased grill rack, making sure they are spaced evenly. Grill the vegetables, covered, over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes. Turn the skewers every 5 minutes, basting them with the remaining butter mixture each time to ensure they stay moist and flavorful.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, remove the skewers from the grill. Serve the kabobs hot, accompanied by the reserved butter mixture for extra flavor.
These Easy Vegetable Kabobs are a delicious and healthy option for any summer cookout or dinner. The combination of fresh vegetables with the savory, herb-infused butter makes them a standout side dish that complements any grilled meat or can even be enjoyed on their own for a lighter meal. The simple prep and grilling process makes this recipe an easy go-to for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend gatherings. Enjoy!
