A fun and flavorful way to enjoy roasted vegetable skewers.
Getting enough veggies just got a whole lot easier with these quick and easy roasted vegetable skewers. Let’s face it: sometimes food just tastes better when it’s served on a stick. No one really knows why, but it’s true! It’s the reason why lollipops are fun and flirty while hard candies belong on the bottom of your grandma’s purse. And why we invented corn dogs (probably). Take a great food, put it on a stick, and it just gets better. That same inexplicable logic also brought us these roasted vegetable skewers. They’re a quick and easy way give your favorite roasted veggie a fun, simple update that will leave you craving more.
A Bold Assortment of Veggies
Kebabs are as much about aesthetics as they are about flavor. These roasted vegetable skewers certainly don’t disappoint in either category. Our roasted vegetable skewers boast a wide assortment of colors and flavors, including bell peppers, squash, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
To craft the perfect kebab aesthetic, place one piece of green pepper on the stick followed by a piece of yellow squash, onion, tomato, then mushroom. Repeat the pattern until the skewers are full.
While these veggies definitely pack a variety of flavors, the kebabs get a boost from a brush of tasty oil. A mix of olive oil, basil, oregano, garlic, and thyme compliments the natural earthy flavors of these roasted vegetables.
Perfect For All Seasons: Roasted Vegetable Skewers
Kebabs tend to be a go-to summer treat, but you can enjoy this recipe all year round. You don’t need to go outside to make kebabs, either. You can make these quick and easy roasted vegetable skewers right in your oven. Once you’ve prepared the skewers and brushed the veggies with the olive oil mixture, just pop the kebabs into the oven and cook them for 8 minutes. Then, turn the skewers over and return them to the oven for another 5 to 6 minutes. Voila: perfectly roasted kebabs!
If you are craving a more summery kebab experience, feel free to toss these skewers on the grill. While you’re out there, whip up one of our favorite summertime grilled fruit desserts. Either way, these quick and easy roasted veggie kebabs are a fun and flavorful way to conjure up some veggie cravings. Enjoy!

Can I add white chicken to this kabob recipe and how much longer should I bake it.
Betty, White chicken is fine. Regarding the cooking time, add another 5 minutes then check to make sure it’s done. Add additional minutes as need to ensure the chicken is cooked through and tender.
