Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 10 mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into approximately 1-inch square pieces.
Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, separating the layers as needed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chopped vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms) to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly. Let the vegetables marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the different vegetables for a colorful presentation.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately as a main dish or side dish.
