Notes on Weber® Roasted Garlic & Herb
Flavor profile
- Roasted garlic: Rich, mellow, and slightly sweet rather than sharp or pungent.
- Herbs: A blend of herbs gives it an earthy, garden-fresh flavor similar to Italian-inspired seasonings.
- Savory: Salt and spices enhance the natural flavor of food without overpowering it.
- Sweet red pepper: Adds a subtle sweetness and mild pepper flavor—not heat.
- Very mild spice: It has little to no noticeable heat, making it family-friendly.

If you’ve had:

Foods it complements especially well
It brings out the flavor of:
- Chicken
- Steak
- Pork chops
- Salmon and shrimp
- Roasted potatoes
- Grilled vegetables

- Garlic bread
What it doesn’t taste like
- It’s not spicy like Cajun or taco seasoning.

Tips on Preparing Brussels Sprouts
This recipe features Brussels sprouts, which are often overlooked when it comes to grilling! Here’s some tips on how to make sure they turn out amazing each time!
-
Trim the stem end.
-
Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
-
Halve (or quarter) them for faster, more even cooking—especially if roasting or sautéing.
-
Rinse and dry thoroughly if needed (especially before grilling so they crisp up).
Chicken and Veggie Skewers with Smoky Grilled Corn
Ingredients
For the Chicken and Veggie Skewers
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts halved
- 1 Red bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 Yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 Red onion cut into 1-inch chunks
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp Weber® Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning
For the Smoky Grilled Corn
- 4 ears Corn on the cob in the husk
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn Grinder to taste
- Member's Mark™ Himalayan Pink Salt Grinder to taste
Instructions
For the Chicken Skewers
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, and red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and Weber® Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and different vegetables.
- Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
For the Smoky Grilled Corn
- Fill a large bowl or pot with cold water. Pull back the corn husks and remove the silks before wrapping the husks back around the corn. Soak the corn husks in cold water for about 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350-375℉) for about 10-15 minutes.
- Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn Grinder and Member's Mark™ Himalayan Pink Salt Grinder before replacing the husk and grilling.
- Place the corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill and cook the corn for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- To check if the corn is done, after about 15 minutes of cooking you can carefully peel back a small section of the husk and check the kernels. They should be tender and cooked through. If it doesn't appear to be done, re-wrap it in the husks and continue grilling for a few more minutes.
