📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and chop all vegetables into 1-1.5 inch pieces; place in a large bowl.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Pour the marinade over the chopped vegetables and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  4. 4
    Thread the marinated vegetables onto the prepared skewers, alternating colors and types. Leave a small space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. 5
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approx. 400°F / 200°C). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
  6. 6
    Place skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp and have visible char marks on all sides.
  7. 7
    Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

💡 Notes

For best results, aim for consistently sized vegetable pieces for even cooking. Don't over-marinate with lemon juice, as it can soften vegetables too much. Skewers are delicious served with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
