Ingredients

• 2 medium, sliced into thick rounds Zucchini
• 3 medium, cut into 1-inch squares Bell peppers (mixed colors)
• 2 medium, cut into wedges Red onion
• 10 whole Button mushrooms
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 0.5 cup, chopped Coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for a touch of sweetness) Honey or maple syrup
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: Slice zucchini into thick rounds, chop bell peppers into 1-inch squares, cut red onions into wedges, leave mushrooms whole, and set aside cherry tomatoes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the prepared vegetables in the marinade until well coated.

Step 5

Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating them for a colorful and balanced presentation. For example, start with a cherry tomato, followed by a zucchini slice, a bell pepper square, a mushroom, and a red onion wedge, and repeat.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill or in the oven on a baking tray. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

Step 7

While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the coriander coconut cream sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine coconut milk, chopped coriander leaves, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed. Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl.

Step 9

Once the vegetable kebabs are cooked, remove them from the grill or oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the vegetable kebabs hot, drizzled with coriander coconut cream sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
