Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs pork loin
• 0.25 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 medium red onion (cut into chunks)
• 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors, cut into chunks)
• 1 medium zucchini (cut into thick rounds)
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Cut the pork loin into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 4

Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

While the pork marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini into evenly sized pieces for grilling.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or preheat the broiler if using the oven).

Step 7

Assemble the kebabs by threading the marinated pork cubes, red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

Brush the assembled kebabs with any remaining marinade.

Step 9

Grill the kebabs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 10

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Lemon Garlic Pork Kebabs with a side of rice, salad, or pita bread.
