Ingredients
2 bell peppers (assorted colors), stemmed and quartered
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup mushrooms, quartered
1 red onion, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt to taste
Fresh basil or parsley leaves for garnish
Instructions
Preheat grill or barbecue to medium-high heat
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, and salt
Toss bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onions with the marinade until evenly coated
Thread vegetables onto skewers in alternating order
Grill for 5-6 minutes per side or until charred and slightly softened
Add cherry tomatoes to the skewers during the last 2-3 minutes of grilling to preserve their juiciness
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs
Notes
Use sturdy wooden or metal skewers to avoid breakage during grilling
Adjust grilling time based on your equipment’s heat level
Fresh cherry tomatoes are ideal, as canned/processed options won’t hold up
For added flavor, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil from the marinade after grilling
