One of my big suggestions when people are grilling is to grill your sides too. You want side dishes, of course, but you don’t want to keep running between the grill and the oven. It’s hard to split your focus and you risk burning something.
So grilling your sides alongside your main dish makes so much sense.
And if you’re looking for something new and easy to grill, these Tomato And Mushroom Skewers are it. They’re super easy to make and come out great.
These Tomato And Mushroom Skewers aren’t your only option if you’re looking to grill some vegetables.

Tomato And Mushroom Skewers Ingredients:
You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.
- Grape tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes would also work.
- Button mushrooms – We use white, but baby bella would work too.
- Butter – This assures the skewers don’t stick to the grill and also add some flavor.
- Seasoning – Garlic powder and salt work best.
- Fresh basil – Fresh basil adds a little color and flavor.
How To Make Tomato And Mushroom Skewers:
Start with a skewer.
Add a grape tomato to the skewer, making sure the skewer goes through the shorter end. Push it to the top of the skewer. Add a second tomato and push to until it reaches the first one.
Then, add a white button mushroom and push it up the skewer until it meets the tomato.
Alternate between two tomatoes and one mushrooms until the skewer is filled, making sure to leave a little room at the end to act as a handle.
Continue until you’re out of mushrooms and tomatoes.
Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir. If the butter isn’t completely melted, you can microwave it again at 15 second intervals.
Side note: We have a really good smoked garlic butter recipe. If you made that and have some left over, or have time to make that before you make these skewers, it would be really great in this recipe instead of making butter with garlic powder.
Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter across each side of the skewer.
Sprinkle the skewers with half the salt. Flip the skewers and sprinkle with the rest of the salt.
Put them directly on a grill for about ten minutes, making sure to flip them every two minutes. If you feel like the tomatoes are starting to stick, you can add more of the garlic butter.
When you get a little char on the vegetables on each side and the tomatoes are soft, the skewers are done.
Remove them from the grill and put the veggie kabobs on a serving platter. Add the chopped basil.
Tomato And Mushroom Skewers: Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any leftover kabobs, take the tomatoes and mushrooms off the skewer and store them in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
The easiest way to reheat any leftovers is in the microwave. Trying to reheat them in the oven or air fryer may overcook them and they won’t taste great. If you do want to use the oven or air fryer, sprinkle a little drizzle of oil on top before reheating.
But, you don’t even have to reheat the leftovers. You can eat them cool, straight out of the fridge, and they’ll still taste good.

Speaking of kabobs, if you don’t want to purchase wooden skewers and want something more sustainable, you can purchase reusable skewers instead.
