Grilled Vegetable Kabobs are brushed with a flavorful garlic herb butter for the finish. They’re the ideal side dish for any entree whether it’s steak, pork, chicken or seafood and can be personalized to your taste.
Grilled Vegetable Kabobs with Garlic Herb Butter
Grilling vegetables is a year-round, all weather sport at our house. I believe I could eat these grilled vegetable kabobs daily and never tire of the fresh farm stand flavors, some things just never get old. Especially, when it comes to summer bounty and farm to table flavors. Even better if they’re grown in your own back yard.
- I find it’s much easier to thread the vegetables onto a metal skewer. The sharp pointed end makes it easier to push through the raw vegetables. In particular, the corn.
- Should you choose to use wooden skewers, take the time to soak them in water prior to assembling the kabobs grilling to prevent burning.
- These vegetables are basted with a fresh garlic-herb butter, beautifully charred and sprinkled with grated Parmesan just before serving makes for outstanding eats.
- Please note, I often choose the light Land O’ Lakes butter with Canola oil. It’s a blend with oil making it less likely to overcook. It has the bonus of being lighter and full flavored, too.
Other Grilling Favorites
Grilled garlic rosemary smashed potatoes are another all-time favorite, as well as my sweet and spicy pineapple chicken kabobs. A grilled vegetable salad is another summer side dish option that goes magnificently with a grilled chili lime skirt steak.

Looks super Melissa, love that you used the canola oil/butter product. I’ve been thinking about trying it, and now that I know you approve, I’ll pick some up. Thanks for another great recipe:)

Thank you Linda. I actually really love that product. The one I purchase most often is in a tub similar to margarine. The combination of butter flavor and the stability of canola oil is the best of both worlds, really.
