Grilled Vegetable Kabos

Grilled Vegetable Kabos recipe image
These Grilled Vegetable Kabobs offer a vibrant, smoky twist on classic summer grilling. The recipe features a colorful medley of yellow squash, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and boiling onions, all threaded onto skewers for easy handling. While they grill over medium heat, the vegetables are frequently basted with a zesty mixture of low-calorie Italian dressing, dried basil, and fresh parsley, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply. The char from the grill contrasts beautifully with the tender-crisp texture of the veggies. Served alongside fluffy hot brown rice, this dish makes for a satisfying, light main course or a substantial side. It&# 226;ÂÂs perfect for backyard barbecues, warm evenings, or anyone looking for a healthy, plant-based meal that doesnâÂÂt compromise on flavor.

Note

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.

For best results, cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

You can substitute boiling onions with pearl onions or small white onions if boiling onions are unavailable.

Leftover grilled vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They make a great addition to salads or grain bowls.
