Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares.
Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
Peel and cut the red onion into wedges, separating the layers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl, tossing to coat the vegetables evenly with the marinade.
Cover and marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables for a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
