How to cook vegetable kebabs on the grill

The key to brightly coloured and delicious vegetable kebabs/kabobs is to marinade them first and then cook them quickly over a high heat.

This gives nice caramelised edges and lightly softens the outside of the veg, but still gives you that nice crisp vegetables with wonderful flavor.

How to marinade vegetable kebabs

To marinade these kebabs I mix together, olive oil, with fresh mint, chopped chilli and lemon zest. Some of this is used to marinade the cheese and vegetables. And then the rest is drizzled over the skewers at the end.

Can these halloumi and vegetable kebabs be made in advance?

The kebabs can be assembled in advance but I would leave cooking them until you are ready to serve. Otherwise the cheese can go rubbery and the vegetables loose their beautiful crisp cooked texture.

I like to chop all of the veg and cheese and then drizzle them with the marinade. I leave them covered like that in the fridge for a few hours and then assemble them just before guests arrive.

Once they are assembled they are perfect to keep covered in the fridge, ready to add to the grill/oven when you want them.

What vegetables can I use for veggie kabobs/kebabs?

I just love the mixture of bell peppers/capsicums, zucchini and tomato. But you can add anything on that you like:

  • Bell Pepper/Capsicum
  • Zucchini
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Red Onion
  • Eggplant Chunks
  • Sweet Potato
  • Mushrooms
  • Cauliflower florets
  • Summer Squash
