4 cobs of corn, husked
3 zucchini
1 each sweet green, orange and red pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh coriander
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice

Seed, core and cut green, orange and red peppers into 2-inch (5 cm) squares. Alternately thread vegetables onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Brush skewers with oil. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning often, for 10 minutes.
