Ingredients

For the Marinade:

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Skewers:

1 medium red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)

1 medium yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)

1 medium green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)

1 medium red onion (cut into wedges)

2 medium zucchinis (sliced into thick rounds)

1 cup cherry tomatoes

8 ounces mushrooms (whole or halved if large)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place the bell peppers, onion, zucchini, tomatoes, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating the different vegetables for a colorful presentation. Make sure there’s space between the vegetables to allow for even cooking.
  5. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have slight grill marks.
  6. Remove from the grill and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add mushrooms, eggplant, or asparagus to the skewers.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the skewers at 425°F (232°C) for 20 minutes or use an air fryer at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • If you like a sweeter twist, drizzle honey over the vegetables before grilling.
