Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 large Red bell pepper
- 2 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 12 medium Mushrooms
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 10 pieces Bamboo skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Slice the red onion into wedges, approximately 1-inch wide. Keep the cherry tomatoes and mushrooms whole.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Carefully thread the vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating the different types of vegetables to create a colorful pattern.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and light gray before grilling.
Place the vegetable skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the dairy-free grilled vegetable skewers warm, with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauce or as a side to your main dish.
