Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz mushrooms
Marinade and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Craft a zesty marinade by whisking ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer your chopped bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared marinade over the vegetables and gently toss to ensure every piece gets an even coating.
- Allow your vegetables to soak up those delicious flavors by letting them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper taste development.
- Position your oven rack in the center and preheat to 400°F. Grab your wooden or metal skewers and carefully thread the marinated vegetables, alternating colors and types to create visually appealing kabobs.
- Arrange the loaded skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they’re not touching each other for even roasting.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the skewers once at the 10-minute mark to achieve consistent charring and tenderness.
Notes
- Always marinate veggies for maximum flavor, with overnight refrigeration delivering the best taste explosion.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning during baking.
- Choose firm vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions that hold their shape well when roasted.
- For a protein boost, add cubed tofu or tempeh to the skewers, which will absorb the delicious marinade perfectly.
