Skewer vegetables together with chicken or make vegetable kebobs as a side dish for a barbecue or roasted fish dinner. Marinate vegetables of choice (Japanese eggplant, large cherry tomatoes, baby peppers or zucchini chunks) for 1-12 hours. Skewer vegetables on kebab sticks or place directly on the grill.
