Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium yellow squash
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and pat dry all the vegetables.

Step 3

Chop the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, removing the seeds and membranes.

Step 5

Peel and cut the red onion into 1-inch chunks, separating the layers slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 7

Add the chopped zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss until all vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 8

Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the vegetables to add variety and color.

Step 9

Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using an indoor grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.

Step 11

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Summer Vegetable Kabobs as a main or side dish. They pair wonderfully with rice, grilled proteins, or a fresh salad.
