Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 2 zucchinis and 2 bell peppers into 1-inch chunks. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes.

    In a large bowl, toss the vegetable chunks with the 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating zucchini and pepper pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 8-10 minutes. Serve hot.
