    Rainbow Veggie Skewers

    Vibrant and tasty rainbow veggie skewers are a great way to enjoy low carb vegetables on the grill! Brushed with a lemon garlic and herb oil, they make an easy summer recipe for everyone.

    Once you have your vegetables chopped, these grilled vegetable skewers are a quick and easy recipe to make on the grill. You could prepare these in advance too.

    How to make rainbow veggie skewers

    As well as keeping these vegetable kebabs colourful, I’ve kept them low carb by using the following vegetables for the colours of a rainbow.

    • Tomato (Red)
    • Red pepper (Red)
    • Orange pepper (Orange)
    • Yellow pepper (Yellow)
    • Zucchini (Green)
    • Red onion (Indigo)
    • Eggplant (Violet)

    Other low carb vegetables you could add to these colourful kebabs are yellow zucchini, green pepper and broccoli.

    These grilled vegetable skewers make a great low carb vegan dish by themselves with a side salad or two such as hemp tabbouleh or herbed cauliflower rice. To up the protein macro, add grilled tofu to the skewers.

    I enjoy these with some grilled halloumi cheese or Feta cheese. Once grilled, I remove the vegetables from the sticks and throw in a bowl with the cheese. Add a dash of the skewer dressing and you have a great meal.

    If you want to finish your meal on a colourful note, try a Rainbow Roll Cake.

    Recipe Tips

    To ensure even cooking, cut and slice the vegetables in a similar size. I start with the zucchini slices and then try to match the others to that size.

    If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for an hour before use to prevent the vegetables sticking to them.

    Marinade the vegetables with the dressing before assembling for an extra taste.

    I find that the eggplant and onion takes longer to cook, so I point my skewers in a circle with them on the hotter part of the grill.
