Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized butternut squash
• 1 large red onion
• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Peel and seed the butternut squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and cut it into large 1-inch chunks.

Step 5

Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 6

Cut the bell peppers into similar-sized 1-inch pieces, discarding the seeds and stem.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 8

Add the butternut squash, red onion, zucchini, and bell peppers to the bowl. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the marinade.

Step 9

Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the different types for variety and color.

Step 10

Place the skewers on the grill or arrange them on a baking sheet for oven roasting.

Step 11

Grill or roast for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 12

Remove the kabobs from the heat and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
