Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 30 milliliters Balsamic vinegar
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

While the skewers are soaking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares. Peel and slice the red onion into similarly sized squares. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Add the prepared zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating colors and varieties for a visually appealing presentation.

Step 7

Once the grill is ready, place the vegetable skewers on the grill. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, either as a side dish or a main course, accompanied by your choice of dipping sauce or grains.
