Grilled Vegetable Kabobs Tips

You can use other quick cooks veggies too for these vegetable skewers, like eggplant and radishes.
Make sure you cut the vegetables to the same size so they veggie kabobs cook at the same rate.
Cook time depends on size of vegetables – so start out with less time if you are unsure and then increase accordingly.
Feel free to brush your favorite marinade on the vegetables before cooking. But please note this will change the Weight Watchers points. You can also use some low calorie cooking spray.
You can vary the spices and herbs to suit your taste. If following a particular eating program, make sure the spices and seasonings are compliant and program-approved. Mix the seasoning and veggies in a mixing bowl before threading. See some suggestions below.

Air Fryer Kabobs Tips

Make sure to soak the wooden skewers before using them.
Alternatively you can use metal skewers for this.
Make sure the skewers will fit inside your air fryer. You can buy smaller skewers, but if you already have longer skewers on hand do what I did and cut them down using a sharp knife to fit in the air fryer basket (I cut mine to 6.5 inches).
Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness and adjust the cook time as needed.
You can cook these on a hot skillet on the stovetop.

Air Fryer Vegetable Kabobs Flavor Variations

The great thing about these veggie kabobs is that they are super versatile. You can easily change up the flavor by using a teaspoon or two of different spices and seasonings.

For a taste of the Caribbean, I brush some Jamaican Jerk Seasoning on them.

I love making these Air Fryer Kabobs with Mexican flavor is sooooo tasty. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, and chipotle to season them in a mixing bowl, before adding to the air fryer.

For a homemade spice mix you can use this => homemade fajita seasoning recipe.

Or turn them into spicy Cajun Vegetable Skewers by adding some creole seasoning to the mix. You can also go for more of a classic flavor profile and swap out the paprika and cumin for Old Bay Seasoning. Delicious!

Best Veggies For Grilling

You can pretty much grill any vegetable you like (okay, perhaps not spinach or other leafy greens…but everything with some substance).

The key thing to remember is to keep vegetables that cook at the same rate together. So keep quick cooking veggies on the same skewers and longer cooking veggies on the same skewers. Other vegetables you can add include:

Quick cooking types – like eggplant, radishes, baby corn.
Longer cooking variety – potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots. Do make sure to parboil these veggies to make them cook much quicker.
