Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 20 Cherry tomatoes
- 2 medium Red bell peppers
- 2 medium Yellow bell peppers
- 1 large Red onion
- 12 whole Button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds, bell peppers into 1-inch squares, and the red onion into 1-inch chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the prepared vegetables (zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms) in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and stir gently to coat everything evenly. Let the vegetables marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating types and colors for a visually appealing presentation.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred in spots.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. These skewers are perfect on their own or as a side dish with your favorite main course.
