Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 3 medium (any color) Bell peppers
• 1 large Red onion
• 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 12 medium (button or cremini) Mushrooms
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Core and seed the bell peppers, then cut them into 1-inch squares.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Leave the cherry tomatoes and mushrooms whole unless they are very large, in which case cut them in half.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 7

Add all the prepared vegetables to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 8

While the vegetables marinate, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling. Alternatively, use metal skewers.

Step 9

Assemble the kabobs by threading the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating colors and textures for a visually appealing result.

Step 10

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 12

Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy as a delicious side dish or light main course!
