Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 zucchini and 1 bell pepper into 1-inch chunks. Peel the 1 red onion and cut into wedges. Leave the 8 mushrooms whole.

  2. Step 2

    Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating zucchini, bell pepper, mushroom, and onion. Brush with the 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the 0.5 tsp salt.

  3. Step 3

    Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Serve hot, topped with fresh cilantro if you have it.

  4. Step 4

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
