Why This Recipe Works

Grilling the lemons alongside the vegetables mellows their sharp acidity into a deep, smoky sweetness. Tossing the vegetables in a portion of the dressing before skewering builds layers of flavor and helps achieve a perfect char.


Instructions

1

Prepare a grill for medium-high heatβ€”the oil on the grate should shimmer but not smoke, and you should be able to hold your hand 5 inches above the heat for only 3 to 4 seconds.

2

Whisk the oil, mustard, rosemary, and garlic together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer half of this dressing to a small bowl and set it aside for finishing.

3

Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers to the large bowl with the remaining dressing and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

4

Thread the seasoned vegetables onto eight 12-inch metal skewers, alternating the types to ensure they cook evenly.

5

Place the skewers and the lemon quarters on the hot grill. Cook the lemons until they are charred and softened, about 5 minutes, then move them to a plate.

6

Continue grilling the kebabs, turning as needed, until the vegetables are tender and well-charred on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes total.

7

Squeeze the juice from the grilled lemons into the small bowl with the reserved dressing and whisk until combined.

8

Slide the vegetables off the skewers into a clean bowl, drizzle with the lemon dressing, and toss gently. Serve immediately while still hot from the flame.
