Grilled Veggie Skewers

Ingredients

• 4 medium red onion
• 4 medium zucchini (sliced)
• 2 red bell pepper
• 2 orange bell pepper
• 2 yellow bell pepper
• 2 green bell pepper
• olive oil (for brushing)
• Balsamic vinegar (for serving)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced)
• 3 tablespoon fresh cilantro (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (minced)
• salt (to taste)
• freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak approximately 8-12 wooden skewers in water for at least 15-30 minutes. The total number of skewers will vary depending on several factors, such as the size of each vegetable, the size of your vegetable pieces, etc.

2. 2

   Prepare the vegetables for the skewers. For each red onion, first peel, then slice in half. Chop each half into thirds, as if you were cutting a pizza (6 total pieces from one onion). Seed and chop each bell pepper into approximately 1-inch by 1-inch pieces. Finally, chop the zucchini into rounds.

3. 3

   Prepare the Garlic Herb Sauce- in a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

4. 4

   Skewer the vegetables by alternating between red onion, zucchini, and the different colored bell pepper. Brush skewers with a light layer of olive oil.

5. 5

   Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, add skewers and grill for approximately 5-8 minutes per side, or until vegetables are just softening and browning around the edges.

6. 6

   Remove from heat, brush with garlic herb sauce and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, if desired. Enjoy!
