Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Wash and prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, slicing the zucchini into thick rounds, peeling the red onion and cutting it into wedges, and leaving the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the prepared vegetables in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Once the vegetables have marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the different types for a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, either as a side dish or a main meal.
