Raise your hand if you’ve ever attempted to grill a veggie skewer and totally burned it. (Guilty.) That’s because if you’re cooking a bunch of different vegetables on the same kebab, they’ll cook unevenly and the smaller, thinner veggies will be done faster. These rainbow vegetable skewers contain one ingredient each, so they’ll grill to perfection. Best of all, they’re ready in under an hour.

6 servings
Ingredients
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 red onions, cut into large pieces
4 orange bell peppers, cut into squares
1 eggplant, cut into large cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Make the Lemon-Parsley Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the lemon zest and Dijon mustard to combine. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking well to combine. Add the parsley, garlic powder and cayenne; season with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Skewers: Arrange the red onions tightly onto two skewers. Repeat with the other veggies.
3. Brush the skewers with the dressing on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook on a preheated grill or grill pan until nicely charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
4. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.
