Equipment
- Bamboo Skewers
Ingredients
- Bamboo or metal skewers
- 2 large sweet onions cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2-8 oz packs of whole portabella mushrooms
- 1 zucchini sliced and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables by washing and drying them thoroughly. Cut the onions and zucchini into 1-inch chunks. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent them from burning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetables with avocado oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Thread the prepared vegetables onto skewers, alternating for even cooking and presentation.
- Preheat the grill to 350°F. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly charred and cooked to your desired tenderness.
