Ingredients
Scale
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow squash, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 zucchini, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, whole
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Place all cut vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly. Let the vegetables marinate for 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating colors and types for a rainbow effect.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and show nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
If using metal skewers, you do not need to soak them.
For best results, cut vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
You can substitute any firm vegetables you prefer, such as cherry tomatoes or eggplant.
