Ingredients

For the Skewers

1 can Cooking Spray A nonstick barrier for grilling; can substitute with vegetable or olive oil spray.
1 medium Yellow Squash Adds sweetness and softness when grilled; swap with summer squash if needed.
1 medium Zucchini Provides a mild flavor and tender texture; eggplant can be a great substitute.
8 ounces Cremini Mushrooms Offer a meaty texture and umami flavor; portobello mushrooms enhance richness.
1 whole Red Onion Adds sweetness and a pop of color; substitute with yellow onion for stronger flavor.
1 large Red Bell Pepper Contributes sweetness and bright color; green bell pepper offers a more herbaceous taste.
1 large Green Bell Pepper Adds crunch and slight bitterness; feel free to use any color bell pepper.
1 cup Fresh Corn Introduces juicy sweetness; cut into rounds for grilling, or use frozen corn.

3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Enhances flavor and aids in charring; other oils can work but will change the taste.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Vegetables

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Spray grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Wash and chop your vegetables into uniform sizes—about 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Thread the chopped vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors and types. Pack loosely for even cooking.
Drizzle skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Place skewers on the grill and grill for about 8 minutes, then turn and grill the other side for an additional 8 minutes.
Remove the skewers from the grill and cool slightly before serving.
