Veggie Corn Skewers

  Veggie Corn Skewers
Prep time: 10 minutes       Grill time: 10 minutes 

  I love to make grilled veggie skewers.  I usually do a mixture of onions, peppers, and some kind of fruit like peaches for example.  This recipe is made with a mixture of vegetables and also corn on the cob.  The trickiest part was getting the corn on the cob onto the wooden skewers. I used a knife to precut a hole before inserting the skewer.  Be careful when cutting the corn because it is challenging. After cooking, I like to serve with chicken or fish.  The guests can slide the veggies off when they are ready to eat. It makes a great grilling side dish. 

Tip: Soak your wooden skewers in water prior to placing the food on them, and it will be easier to make.  

Healthy tip: Bright colored vegetables tend to have the most nutrients.  Look for a mixture of orange, yellow, red, and green when making a vegetable dish.  

Ingredients: 

• 1 bag of sweet bell peppers or mini sweet peppers
• 5-6 zucchini cut into 1 inch rounds
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces
• 3 corn on the cobs, not cooked cut into 2 inch rounds
• bamboo skewers 
• Balsamic vinegar dressing or Italian 

Recipe: 

1. Layer the vegetables on the skewer, aim for about 6 pieces on each skewer. 
2. Drizzles balsamic vinegar dressing or Italian dressing on each skewer. 
3. Grill individually for about 5-10 minutes until the veggies and corn are soft but not burned. 
4. Serve hot with chicken or fish in the summer.
