Equipment

  • - Grill Pan: Ideal for cooking vegetables directly over a flame or in an oven, helps retain flavor and texture while grilling.

  • - Griller: Designed to add grilled flavor and char without needing outdoor equipment.

  • - Vegetable Skewers: Essential for assembling kebabs neatly and ensuring even cooking.

  • - Kitchen Shears: Useful for trimming vegetables before skewering.

  • - Grill Brush: For cleaning grills or stainless steel cookware after use.

  • - Tongs: Vital for turning and flipping kebabs on the grill without piercing them.

  • - Cutting Board: Essential for preparation work before assembling kebabs, providing a clean space to cut and arrange vegetables.

  • - Spice Grinder: For customizing blends of herbs and spices to add extra flavors to kebabs.

  • - Kebab Pliers: Help efficiently assemble vegetable kebabs by holding and threading skewers through prepared veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white-wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (preferably white)

  • 1 large garlic clove, minced

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 1 lb small zucchini, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 3/4 lb cherry tomatoes

  • 1 lb baby eggplant (about 4 inches long), cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices

  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, trimmed

  • 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a glass measure until combined.
2

Instruction 2

Toss zucchini in a large bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Repeat with remaining vegetables, working with 1 type at a time and keeping each batch separate. Thread vegetables onto skewers (thread zucchini and eggplant horizontally through slices so cut sides will lie flat on grill; leave about 3/4 inch between tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions), using 3 skewers per type of vegetable and not mixing vegetables on any skewer.
3

Instruction 3

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
4

Instruction 4

Grill kebabs in 2 batches on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, until vegetables are tender (vegetables, except tomatoes, should be lightly browned; tomatoes should be blistered and shriveled), 6 to 10 minutes (timing will vary among vegetables).

Instruction 5

Transfer skewers as cooked to a platter and, if desired, remove vegetables from skewers. Drizzle with some of vinaigrette and serve remaining vinaigrette on the side.
