- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, start by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds.
Core and cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Peel and cut the red onion into wedges, about 8 pieces.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
Add the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade and toss to ensure all veggies are coated evenly.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different vegetables for variety.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning frequently until the vegetables are tender and have grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve warm.
