Instructions

  1. Step 1

    If using wooden skewers, soak 8 skewers in water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Clean the 8 oz mushrooms and trim stems. Cut the 1 red bell pepper and 1 zucchini into 1-inch chunks. Cut the 1 red onion into wedges.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 0.5 tsp salt.

  4. Step 4

    Thread the vegetables and mushrooms onto the skewers, alternating colors. Brush all sides with the garlic-herb oil.

  5. Step 5

    Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Serve hot.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving.
