Instructions
Creating Rainbow Veggie Kabobs is easy and fun. Follow these simple steps:
1. Soak Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and cut all vegetables into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Mix Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate Vegetables: Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly, and let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat.
6. Assemble Kabobs: Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating colors and types for a rainbow effect.
7. Grill Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the veggies are cooked to your liking; you want them to be tender but not mushy.
9. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, carefully remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool for a minute.
10. Serve: Enjoy your Rainbow Veggie Kabobs as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
