Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons dried basil
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and cut the red onion into 1-inch chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Whisk the ingredients together to create a marinade.
Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl with the marinade, tossing them well to ensure they are all evenly coated. Let the vegetables marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating the types of vegetables for variety and color.
Place the skewers on the grill, cooking each side for approximately 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and have a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite low-sodium side dish.
