Ingredients

• 300 grams plant-based beef alternative chunks
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into thick 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

Add the plant-based beef chunks to the marinade, stirring to coat them well. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the plant-based beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by tossing them in a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated plant-based beef chunks, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternating them for color onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 7

Grill the shish kabobs on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Remove skewers from the grill and serve hot, topped with freshly chopped parsley.
