• 1 large green pepper, cored, seeded, cut in chunks
• 1 small red onion, cut in chunks

3. Thread vegetables onto skewers; place on grill.
4. Grill 8 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally.

Test Kitchen Tips:

• Use a non-metal dish for marinating. Most marinades contain acidic ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, which react with metal causing off flavors and possibly damaging the container.
• Be creative with vegetables. Try yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes. There's no need to be limited to white button mushrooms. Choose from a variety such as Portabella, Crimini and Shiitake mushrooms.
