Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the bell peppers and zucchini into 1-inch chunks. Peel and quarter the red onion. Leave cherry tomatoes and mushrooms whole.
Marinate the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Add all vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly with the marinade.
Soak wooden skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Assemble the skewers: Thread vegetables onto skewers in an alternating pattern, creating colorful combinations. Leave a small space between pieces for even cooking.
Preheat the electric grill: Set your electric grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes.
Grill the skewers: Place skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
Serve: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Chef's Tips
- Even Cooking: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Skewer Tip: If using wooden skewers, you can wrap the exposed ends in foil to prevent burning.
- Marinade Time: For deeper flavor, marinate vegetables for 30 minutes to 2 hours before grilling.
- Grill Maintenance: Clean your electric grill plates thoroughly after use to prevent sticking next time.
- Variation: Add tofu or halloumi cheese cubes for a protein boost.
- Serving Suggestion: Drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
