Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Bell peppers, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 large Zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
  • 8 oz Cremini or button mushrooms, whole or halved
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon juice, plus extra for finishing
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • Pinch of Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or basil, chopped for garnish
  • 810 Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Prep the veggies: cut peppers, zucchini, and onion; keep mushrooms whole or halved; leave cherry tomatoes whole.
  3. Make the marinade: whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl.
  4. Add the veggies to the bowl and toss to coat well, marinating for 15–30 minutes.
  5. Thread the veggies onto skewers, alternating colors and textures.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F / 200–230°C). Grill skewers for 8–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a plate, squeeze fresh lemon over the top, and sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve hot.

Notes
