Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 2 Red bell pepper
- 2 Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 20 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 Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds, the bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares, and the red onion into similar-sized chunks. Leave cherry tomatoes whole.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Whisk well to create the marinade.
Add all the prepared vegetables to the bowl with the marinade and toss until all the vegetables are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing before starting.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between different vegetables to create colorful patterns.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the vegetables are tender and have a nice char. Turn the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. These skewers are a great addition to any meal or can be enjoyed as a light main course.
