1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
1 red onion, cut into chunks
1 cup mushrooms (whole or halved)
½ cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 mins)
Prep Veggies: Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Marinate: Toss veggies in the marinade and let sit for 15–30 minutes.
Skewer the Veggies: Thread veggies onto soaked wooden skewers, alternating colors for visual appeal.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium heat. Cook skewers for about 10–12 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes until lightly charred and tender.
Cut all veggies the same size so they cook evenly.
Add pineapple chunks or tofu for a sweet or protein-packed twist.
Great as a main dish or side with grilled meats, quinoa, or pasta salad.
