Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the zucchini into thick rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into large chunks.
Peel and cut the red onion into large pieces, similar in size to the bell peppers.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove any dirty stems.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add all the prepared vegetables, including cherry tomatoes, to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between colors and types to create an appealing mix.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the skewers with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve the skewers immediately and enjoy your healthy, Whole30-compliant side dish!
