Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Prep the Vegetables: Cut the bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into chunks. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Vegetables: Add the chopped vegetables and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for at least 15 minutes.

Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types for a colorful presentation.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Serve: Remove from the grill and serve warm as a side dish or light meal.
