Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 8 oz (225 g) button mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional), whole
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Wood or metal skewers (soaked if wooden to prevent burning)
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut all vegetables into uniform pieces about 1.5 inches each. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and honey or maple syrup if using until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add chopped vegetables to the marinade bowl and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and let sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes.
  4. Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors and types. Leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until veggies are tender and slightly charred but not mushy.
  7. Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not marinate vegetables longer than 30 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking. Flip kebabs every 3-4 minutes for even cooking. If veggies start to burn, move to cooler part of grill or reduce heat. Can use grill pan or broiler if no grill is available.
