Equipment

  • Tongs
  • Knife and cutting board
  • 12 skewers
  • Barbecue grill

Ingredients
  

VEGETABLES

  • 24 white button mushrooms
  • 1 medium-sized yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 ears of corn cut into 3/4-inch slices
  • 2 medium-sized Japanese eggplants, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 medium-sized zucchini cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1x1 pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1x1 pieces

BASTING SAUCE

  • 8 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tsp fresh basil minced
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F or medium heat.
  • Clean and prep your vegetables.
  • In an alternate pattern, add your vegetables to the skewers.
  • Combine the ingredients for the basting sauce in a bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Apply the sauce with a brush to each vegetable skewer. Continue with the rest of the skewers.
  • To transfer the skewers onto the grill, use tongs so that they are perpendicular with the grill grates. This will ensure you get nice grill marks. Flip the skewers over after 10 minutes. Depending on how done you like them, cook for another 5-10 mins.
  • You can check for doneness by poking the kernels of corn. If it is plump and tender, you are good to go. The mushrooms should be nicely browned but not so tender that it breaks apart.
  • Serve immediately after removing the skewers.
