Grilled Mushroom and Zucchini Skewers
Delicious and healthy grilling option perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers. Tender mushrooms and perfectly charred zucchini create a wonderful mix of textures and tastes.
Ingredients
- 16 oz button or cremini mushrooms cleaned and stems trimmed
- 2 medium zucchini cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8-10 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the mushrooms and zucchini chunks to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the marinade. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Thread the mushrooms and zucchini pieces onto skewers, alternating between the two vegetables.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
