Grilled Bell Pepper and Tomato Skewers

Ingredients

Cherry tomatoes

2 cups

Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

3, cut into 1-inch chunks

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Olive oil

1/4 cup

Balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a marinade.
3. Thread the bell pepper chunks and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating between the two for a vibrant presentation.
4. Brush the skewers generously with the marinade, ensuring all sides are coated for maximum flavor.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the vegetables are slightly charred and tender. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
6. Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly.
7. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving to add a touch of freshness.
