Instructions
Making Lemon Herb Veggie Skewers is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and chop the bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Leave cherry tomatoes whole.
3. Make Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine Veggies and Marinade: Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl, tossing until everything is well-coated with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Skewer the Vegetables: Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating different types to create a colorful pattern.
6. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
7. Cook Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
8. Serve: Remove from the grill and serve warm, garnished with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll quickly create a batch of delicious Lemon Herb Veggie Skewers that will leave everyone craving more.
