Grilled vegetable skewers have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, where various cultures grilled vegetables on skewers over open flames. This cooking method has been passed down through generations and is now a popular dish enjoyed worldwide. Chefs in Mediterranean regions, such as Greece and Italy, are known for their expertise in grilling vegetables to perfection, infusing them with aromatic herbs and olive oil. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in farm-to-table restaurants that source fresh, seasonal produce. Key ingredients like bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes are essential for creating flavorful skewers. For a twist, some chefs marinate the vegetables in balsamic vinaigrette or create a spicy harissa glaze for added depth of flavor.
