Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make vegetable shish kebab on the grill? First of all, prepare all the products on the list. For barbecue, you can use absolutely any vegetables that you have in stock. Wash everything thoroughly and dry with napkins or a towel. It is better to use small peppers, take small young zucchini.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onion. Cut the eggplant and onion into rings approximately 1.5-2 cm thick. Cut the young zucchini into pieces of the same size.

Step 3

Step 3
Prick the zucchini and bell peppers with a toothpick. This will allow the vegetables to marinate better in the future.

Step 4

Step 4
Place everything except the onions in a plastic bag. I prefer to marinate the onions separately so that the rings do not fall apart (I usually brush them with marinade using a silicone brush on both sides).

Step 5

Step 5
Prepare the marinade. In a deep small container, add vegetable or olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, salt to taste and your favorite seasonings. I used smoked ground paprika, mixed peppers, dried basil, garlic powder and herbes de Provence.

Step 6

Step 6
Mix everything thoroughly until the salt crystals are completely dissolved.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour the prepared marinade into the bag with vegetables. Mix everything carefully so that the aromatic oil is evenly distributed throughout all the vegetables. Close the bag and leave it to marinate. Meanwhile, light the grill. When the fire burns out, you can begin the final stage of cooking.

Step 8

Step 8
Thread vegetables onto skewers. To make the kebabs look brighter and more appetizing, string different vegetables one by one on one skewer.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the kebabs on the coals. Vegetables cook very quickly.

Step 10

Step 10
Periodically turn the skewers on different sides so that the vegetables are evenly baked. Cooking takes an average of 7-10 minutes, depending on the degree of heat in the grill and the size of the vegetables.

Step 11
