Ingredients

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares

• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Vegetables: Add the chopped vegetables to the marinade and toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types for a colorful presentation.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
6. Serve: Remove from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy these skewers as they are or with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
