• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Peel and cut the red onion into wedges, separating the layers.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Add the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl, tossing to coat the vegetables evenly with the marinade.

Step 7

Cover and marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 8

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables for a colorful presentation.

Step 10

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
