Ingredients
  • 1 big portobello mushroom
  • seasoning salt
  • 1/2 sweet red or green pepper

  1. Heat the grill to high while you're getting your veggies ready.
  2. Sprinkle a little seasoning salt on your mushroom, remove the seeds from your pepper, and skewer your tomatoes.
  3. Now, grill your veggies for 10 minutes or however long it takes for them to get a bit charred and soft.
