Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Ingredients

• Wooden skewers (8)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or basil) (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Mushrooms (8, whole)
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup)
• Red onion (1, cut into chunks)
• Bell peppers (2, cut into chunks)
• Zucchini (2 medium, sliced)

Instructions

1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
4. Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms.
5. Brush the vegetable skewers with the marinade, making sure to coat them evenly.
6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
7. Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot.
8. Optional: Garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving.
