Grilled Veggie Skewers

Colorful and healthy grilled veggie skewers, perfect for summer barbecues or a light vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 810 cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat. Let marinate for 20–30 minutes.
  4. Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the types for variety and color.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Remove from the grill and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or eggplant as desired.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or couscous for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
