Mediterranean Grilled Veggie Skewers

Ingredients

Skewers

8-10 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Fresh herbs (such as parsley, oregano, or thyme)

1/4 cup, chopped

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Olive oil

1/4 cup

Mushrooms

1 cup, halved

Cherry tomatoes

1 cup

Red onion

1 medium, cut into chunks

Bell peppers (any color)

2, cut into chunks

Zucchini

1 medium, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and halved mushrooms.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
4. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
5. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
6. Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between different types for a colorful and appealing presentation.
7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor.
