Fire up the grill and embrace the flavors of the season with these irresistible Grilled Fresh Summer Corn Kabobs! Bursting with vibrant veggies like sweet corn rounds, red bell pepper, and zucchini, these skewers are expertly marinated in a smoky blend of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder for a punch of flavor in every bite. Perfectly charred on the grill and finished with a zesty squeeze of fresh lime, these kabobs are not only visually stunning but also delightfully versatile, making them an ideal side dish or vegetarian main course for summer barbecues. Ready in just 35 minutes, theyβre the perfect combination of quick, healthy, and delicious.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400Β°F).
Cut the ears of corn into 1-inch rounds. Slice the red bell peppers and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, ensuring theyβre uniform for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Thread the corn rounds, red bell pepper pieces, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating them for a colorful presentation.
Brush the prepared marinade generously over the skewered vegetables, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and squeeze fresh lime juice over them for a zesty finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or vegetarian main course.
