Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound white button or crimini mushrooms
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grates
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons red pepper hot sauce
To Serve
- 4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Place mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, grape tomatoes, and zucchini in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Marinate the Vegetables: Add the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and red pepper hot sauce to the bag with the vegetables. Massage the bag to evenly coat all the vegetables with the marinade.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium heat and brush the grates with additional olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Thread the Kebabs: Remove the vegetables from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting. Thread mushrooms, peppers, onions, and tomatoes onto 8 skewers, alternating the ingredients evenly.
- Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve hot with 4 cups of cooked long-grain white rice. Enjoy your vibrant, spicy Cajun-style grilled mushroom kebabs!
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce to your desired spice level.
- Use a grill basket if you prefer instead of skewers for easier handling.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the Cajun seasoning and hot sauce are gluten-free certified.
