Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 200 grams button mushrooms
• 1 medium sweet potato
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 8 pieces wood or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds, cut the bell peppers into bite-sized cubes, peel and chop the red onion into large chunks, and peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

Steam or microwave the sweet potato cubes for 5-7 minutes to soften them slightly, as they take longer to cook than the other vegetables.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk to form a marinade.

Step 6

Add all the prepared vegetables, including the mushrooms, into the bowl with the marinade. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the different types to create a colorful presentation. Ensure the pieces are evenly spaced for even cooking.

Step 8

If grilling, place the skewers on a pre-heated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. If baking, arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 9

Once cooked, serve the Paleo Vegan Kebabs warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or drizzle with extra lemon juice for added brightness.
