One summer staple we love is the grilled vegetable kebab . It’s colorful, healthy, and packed with flavor.

As the summer sun warms your backyard, it’s the perfect time to gather your loved ones for an outdoor feast. Our grilled vegetable kebabs not only satisfy your taste buds but also bring vibrant color to your table. The secret? Artful seasoning that enhances every bite.

Each kebab starts with garden-fresh vegetables—tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions—chopped into perfect 1-inch pieces. Tossed with olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and finely chopped oregano, these vegetables are transformed into something special. When grilled, they take on a delightful char that enhances their natural sweetness.
