Ingredients
1 whole fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch thick slices
2 medium yellow squash, cut into 1-inch thick slices
½ pound whole fresh mushrooms
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
12 cherry tomatoes
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in cool water for 20 minutes (prevents burning on the grill)
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
Prep your produce and gather all ingredients ahead of time for a smooth, stress-free cooking process.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat, then lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Alternately thread pineapple chunks, zucchini slices, yellow squash slices, whole mushrooms, onion chunks, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper chunks onto each pre-soaked skewer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Brush half of this herb marinade evenly over all the vegetables and pineapple on the skewers.
Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill. Cook 10 to 15 minutes total, turning the skewers occasionally and basting with the remaining olive oil marinade as you go, until vegetables are tender all the way through and develop a lightly charred, smoky exterior.
Transfer to a serving platter, serve warm, and enjoy!
