Grilled Vegetables
A Simple Vegetable Kabob Recipe
If you enjoy bell peppers and you want to make colorful kabobs with green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, this recipe is ideal. Bell peppers add a splash of color to any dish and the tasty soy sauce and rosemary marinade in this recipe gives lots of flavor to the bell peppers and onion. With the bell peppers, you do not have to use one of each color; if you want to use just green and red or just orange and yellow that is fine. Just choose the ones you prefer because different colors of bell peppers have a different taste.
You can either use a gas grill or a charcoal grill to make vegetable kabob recipes, depending what you have available. In fact, if the weather is bad but you still want to make these, what about using an indoor grill? The results will be very similar and who knows - by the time you have finished marinating the veggies the sun might have come out and you can use the outdoor grill after all!
Maybe you like meat kabobs, like a grilled beef and vegetable kabob or a chicken shish kabob with vegetable chunks, in which case you will find these kabobs to be very similar but obviously without the added meat. If you are serving meat as an entree, a vegetable kabob recipe makes an excellent side dish for it. You can vary the vegetable that you use, if you want to, as long as everything has more or less the same cooking time. If you want to use some denser veggies, you might need to parboil them for ten minutes first, to ensure they are ready when the bell peppers and onions are.
