Ingredients
- 1 zucchini sliced into 1-inch pieces (sub: yellow squash)
- 1 bell pepper red, yellow, or green, your choice!, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 red onion chopped into chunks
- 8 oz. cherry tomatoes yum!, whole
- 8 oz. mushrooms whole or halved (sub: eggplant or cauliflower)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce or coconut aminos for a healthier option
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers if you’re using wooden ones, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes!
Instructions
- Prepare Your Skewers: First, grab those skewers and soak the wooden ones in water for about 30 minutes if you haven't already. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill. If you’re using metal skewers, just give them a quick wipe, and you're good to go!
- Chop Your Veggies: Next up, let’s chop our veggies. Cut the zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. This marinade is where all the magic happens! Feel free to taste and adjust any ingredients to your liking.
- Marinate the Veggies: Throw all the chopped veggies in the bowl with the marinade. Give everything a nice stir to coat those veggies in flavor. Let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes. This step is super important for maximum flavor!
- Skewer Up: Once the veggies have marinated, thread them onto the skewers. Get creative with the colors – a rainbow on a stick is a winner in my book! Alternate between different veggies to make it visually appealing.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat up your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, you can also use the stovetop. Heat it until it’s hot and sizzling!
- Grill Those Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill, and cook them for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the veggies are nice and tender with beautiful grill marks!
- Time to Serve: Carefully remove the skewers from the grill (they will be hot, so watch out!) and transfer them to a platter. Serve these veggie kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
