Ingredients

• 500 grams Plant-based meat chunks
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red onion
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Clean and cut the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cut the red onion into similar-sized wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the plant-based meat chunks, bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

Thread the plant-based meat and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the different ingredients to create a colorful pattern.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the meat alternative is well-cooked and slightly charred.

Step 8

Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the skewers warm, paired with a fresh salad or warm pita bread for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
