Last summer, I was invited to a barbecue, and let me tell you, those grilled veggie skewers were the highlight of the night! They were bursting with fresh, summery flavors, and everyone raved about them. This recipe is my take on that unforgettable experience, tailored for a delicious and simple meal any day of the week.

This recipe is all about fresh, seasonal ingredients. The balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and tang that perfectly complements the grilled vegetables. It's super versatile, too! You can use whatever veggies you have on hand, making it a great way to use up leftovers or experiment with different flavor combinations. One time, my friend Mike accidentally used pineapple, but hey, it worked!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First things first, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is crucial for getting those lovely grill marks and ensuring the veggies cook through nicely.
  2. Next, prep your veggies! Wash and chop everything into roughly 1-inch pieces. Remember, we want them to cook evenly so don't go too crazy with the sizes. Unless you like some things extra crunchy, then go wild!
  3. Now for the skewering action! Thread the vegetables onto the skewers. I like to alternate colors and types of vegetables for visual appeal—it's like creating a little edible rainbow!
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. This is your magical balsamic glaze –– well, almost magical; it's actually just really delicious. Make sure to taste-test it! A good cook always taste tests!.
  5. Lightly brush your vegetable skewers with the balsamic glaze. This step adds tons of flavor and also helps prevent the vegetables from sticking to the grill.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. The cook time will depend on your grill and the thickness of your veggies, so keep an eye on them and use tongs to turn them gently. You'll know they're done when they're tender and slightly charred.
  7. Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two. You deserve a short break after all that work!
  8. Finally, drizzle the remaining balsamic glaze over the grilled vegetable skewers and serve immediately. Enjoy! Seriously, dig in! These skewers are an explosion of flavor and will please everyone at the dinner table, and if they don't, you made them, so they can deal with it!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the vegetables in the balsamic glaze for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, eggplant, or asparagus.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
