Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 15 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 10 pieces Baby bella mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Cut the zucchini and both bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, separating each layer slightly.
Clean the baby bella mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove any excess dirt. Leave small mushrooms whole and larger ones in half.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the zucchini, bell peppers, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms to the bowl. Toss well to coat the vegetables in the marinade.
Thread the vegetables onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers, alternating colors and types for a vibrant presentation.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the vegetables have charred grill marks and are tender but not too soft.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately, either as a standalone dish or as a delicious side.
