Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares.
Peel and cut the red onion into similar 1-inch squares.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss everything well to coat the vegetables evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating colors and types for a beautiful presentation.
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove from grill and serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy your healthy, low carb meal!
