Grilled vegetable kebabs
6
Depending on the season, feel free to try different vegetables and herbs with these kebabs. For more of a fall flavor, switch out the rosemary and thyme and add fresh sage instead. Lavender or fresh dill also are great flavors to try with vegetable kebabs.

- Crimini mushrooms, 10 mushroom(s), halved or quartered
- Red onion, 1 medium, cut into chunks

Method
Soak 6 wood skewers in water for at least 30 minutes while you wash and prepare the vegetables.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, or use a grill pan that can accommodate the full length of the skewers.
Place all vegetables in a large bowl. Add the garlic, fresh herbs, oil, salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Skewer the vegetables and place on the grill (or grill pan). Turn every 2 minutes until fully cooked, totaling about 5-8 minutes. You can also partially cook the skewers on the grill, giving them great grill marks and flavor, and finish them later in a high-temperature oven.
Serve with your favorite lean protein or whole-grain entree.
