Grill vegetables, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender, turning frequently.

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers for at leat 30 minutes in water.
• Whisk dressing ingredients (oil- mustard) in a jar and set aside.
• Alternate vegetables (eggplant, zucchini and summer squash) with tomatoes on skewers. Each skewer should hold approximately 6 vegetables (2 of each eggplant, zucchini and summer squash rounds) and 6 tomatoes.
• Arrange skewers on baking sheet while you complete all 10 skewers. Brush skewers with dressing. (If making ahead refrigerate for up to 8 hours- refrigerating dressing and skewers separately) Prepare barbecue (or preheat broiler).

• Soak skewers in water for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Alternately thread zucchini slices, yellow squash slices, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, pineapple, and bell pepper onto the skewers.
• Whisk olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; brush mixture over vegetables.
• Cook skewers on preheated grill until vegetables are tender, turning and basting vegetables with olive oil mixture occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in plenty of water for about 10 minutes if grilling on an indoor grill pan or for 30 minutes if grilling on an outdoor grill to prevent them from burning up.
• Place all of the veggies in a large bowl or baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic. With your hands, toss to combine well. Stick onion pieces in with the vegetables to coat with the marinade; avoid tossing once onion is added so that the onion does not fall apart.
• Alternate the vegetables with the onions on wooden or metal skewers. The onions will get nice and juicy rubbing up against the other veggies. You can do this up to a few hours before you grill them.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Arrange the skewers on the grill pan and cook, turning often, until slightly charred, about 15 minutes. Remove from grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
• *Cook's Note: To get skewer-able chunks of onions, cut the onions in half through the core and then cut each half into quarters. Remove 2 or 3 of the innermost layers, leaving the larger outermost layers. They will fit nicely on your skewers.

Steps:

• Toss the mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini and onion together with the olive oil, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Thread the vegetables onto four 12-inch skewers, alternating vegetables.
• Grill the vegetable kebabs, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine Italian seasoning, basil, paprika, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil and stir marinade well. Add squash, zucchini, onions, and tomatoes and let marinate for 5 minutes.
• Slide vegetables onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating the different types as you go.
• Cook skewers on the bottom rack of the preheated grill, turning every 2 minutes, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes total.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. With a colander set in the sink, lightly sprinkle the eggplant or zucchini with a little salt. Toss well and set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Pat vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and add to the bowl. Gently toss to coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
• Thread vegetables onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), keeping the eggplant and zucchini on separate skewers, if using both vegetables. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
• When the grill is hot, add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Brush with remaining marinade and squeeze a lemon wedge all over. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium sized bowl; let set for about an hour to let all flavors blend.
• Cut all vegetables into bite-size pieces (appx 1").
• Toss veggies in the olive oil/garlic mix and coat evenly.
• Slide veggie's onto skewers one-by-one leaving a small space in between each - group onions to lessen chance of burning.
• Add additional salt and pepper if desired, and then sprinkle with parmesean cheese, turning skewers to ensure even coating.
• Place on top rack over medium flame in a preheated grill. Cook for about 15 - 20 minutes turning occasionally to prevent charring.
• Remove from grill when veggies start to brown and become tender. Sprinkle with additional parmesean cheese if desired, and serve.
