Description

Grilled Vegetable Kabobs with Fajita Butter are a flavorful, vegetarian dish featuring skewered vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions, all grilled to perfection and served with a spicy and creamy fajita butter sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp fajita seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Thread the bell peppers, zucchini, onions, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating the vegetables.
  3. Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the vegetable kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the fajita butter by combining the softened butter, lime juice, fajita seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
  6. Once the kabobs are done, remove them from the grill and serve with the fajita butter on the side or drizzled over the top.
