- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Skill Level: Easy
- 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
- 200g mushrooms, halved
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, mushroom halves, cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss everything well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating different types for a colorful presentation.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from the grill and serve hot, ideally alongside a cooling dip or your favorite grain.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- For a different flavor profile, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the marinade.
- Mix and match your vegetables based on seasonality or personal preference. Eggplants and asparagus also work wonderfully in this recipe.
If you have leftover kebabs, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on a hot grill or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
- Complement these Vegetable Kebab Skewers with a refreshing cucumber yogurt dip or a tangy tamarind chutney.
- Serve alongside a tender, fluffy pilaf or a hearty quinoa salad.
- A chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea would make for delightful beverages to enjoy with this dish.
