Instructions

Soak Skewers (if using wooden):
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Prep Veggies:
Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces, keeping them uniform for even grilling.
Make the Marinade:
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Toss Veggies:
Add the veggies to the bowl and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes if you have time.
Assemble Skewers:
Thread the veggies onto skewers, alternating colors and types for a nice mix.
Grill:
Preheat grill to medium-high. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until veggies are slightly charred and tender.

Serve:
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

Use any veggies you like—eggplant, squash, or corn chunks work great too.

Great served with hummus, tzatziki, or over a bed of rice or couscous.

Make it a meal by adding halloumi or tofu chunks.
