Veggie Kabobs
Enjoy delicious kabobs featuring grilled vegetables and vegan sausages!
Ingredients
- 10 Wooden Skewers Sticks
- 2 Cups Whole White Mushrooms
- 2 Cups Broccoli Florets
- 1 Whole Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Whole Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Cup Purple Onion (Half of onion)
- 4 Plant-Based Sausages
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp. Liquid Smoke (Liquid aminos)
- 1/2 Tsp. Salt
- 1/2 Tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1/4 Tsp. Pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- These skewer sticks are wooden so they must be soaked in warm water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to ensure they don’t burn up. (I soak them for 45 minutes to play it safe on a hot summer day).
- Because this recipe is cooked on the grill, prepare the grill by getting the fire going and/or the coals ready for the kabobs.
Begin The Recipe
- To begin, wash all vegetables.
- Slice 2 cups whole white mushrooms and 2 cups broccoli florets in half and set aside.
- Next, chop 1 cup purple onion (half of the onion) into triangular pieces about an inch by inch and set aside.
- Chop 1 whole red bell pepper and 1 whole green bell pepper by slicing the sides off (this will leave the core and seeds which we don’t want) and slicing those sides into thirds, or pieces that are about an inch by inch.
- Set sliced peppers aside.
- Lastly, we can move onto cutting each of the 4 plant-based sausages into fourths (16 pieces) and set aside.
Thread & Prep Skewers
- With a soaked skewer, thread your desired line of each vegetable, alternating and adding in pieces of sausage. (This is where personal preference and creativity come into play!)
- Or, thread each vegetable once with the exception of sausage and mushroom twice.
- Once all 10 skewers are complete with veggies and sausage, begin the rub that will be applied to them (prevents kabobs from sticking to the grill slates).
- In a small bowl, add 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp. liquid smoke, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Mix to combine ingredients.
- Next, use a food brush to apply oil mixture to one side of each kabob, making sure to cover all vegetables and sausages.
- When the initial side is brushed & oiled, begin grilling kabobs!
Grill Veggie Kabobs
- Place each kabob on the grill face down on the side that is oiled.
- Allow a few minutes for that side to cook while brushing on oil mixture to the top so they will be prepared for flipping.
- Once the first side is cooked, use grill tongs to flip each kabob onto their other, oiled side.
- Allow another few minutes for this side to cook and crisp up as well.
- When your veggie kabobs are cooked thoroughly, remove them from the grill and begin plating!
- Enjoy!
