Ingredients
FOR THE SKEWERS
- 2 large yellow squash
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
FOR THE PREP
- Flat metal skewers
- Olive oil
- Casa M Spice Co® Hooked® Seasoning
Method
-
01
Cut vegetables to size
10 minChop squash, zucchini, peppers, and onion into large, evenly-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. Uniform size means nothing gets mushy while the rest are still raw.
-
02
Thread vegetables onto skewers
5 minUse flat metal skewers and load them up with alternating vegetables. A flat skewer gives you more surface contact and won't let the food spin and twist when you're turning them on the grill.
-
03
Season the skewers
2 minCoat each skewer lightly with olive oil, then dust heavy with Hooked—don't be shy here. The seasoning needs to stick and char, not just flavor the surface.
-
04
Get the grill hot
10 minHeat your grill to medium and let it come fully up to temp. You want steady, even heat that'll give you color without burning the outside before the vegetables soften inside.
-
05
Grill the skewers
12 minSpace skewers out evenly on the grates and turn them every couple minutes to hit all sides. You're after nice grill marks and vegetables that are tender but still have some bite.
-
06
Pull them off
Remove from the grill when the vegetables soften and show good color on all sides. Let them cool just a minute if you're plating them warm.
From Mike's Notebook
Cut your squash and zucchini lengthwise into planks—rounds roll around and won't char evenly.
Soak wooden skewers in water, but metal ones go straight on hot grates without prep.
Thread onion and peppers last—they need more time than squash, so cluster them near the heat.
