Some Favorite Ingredients for Veggie Kebabs
- Mushrooms: I can’t remember the last time I cooked veggie kebabs without mushrooms as a main component – they’re a must. Have fun with different types – the standards (cremini, button, Portobello,etc.) are all great and easy to source. Also keep an eye out for king oyster mushrooms, maitake, matsutake, oyster, lobster mushrooms and the like. Mix it up with more than one type if you can.
- Peppers: I love adding shishito peppers to my kebabs, but red or green bell peppers are easy to find and popular.
- Corn: – cut into rounds or half-moons: When corn is in season this is a great addition.
- Frozen artichoke hearts: I like to thaw these the day I plan on marinating the veggie kebab ingredients, then incorporate them into the mix. I usually thread the artichokes onto the skewer through both ends, so they’re folded over.
