Ingredients

• 2 medium bell peppers
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

2. 2

   Wash and prepare the vegetables: Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares, slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and cut the red onion into wedges.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic (from the 3 cloves), salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the olive oil mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.

5. 5

   Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors and types for a vibrant presentation. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.

7. 7

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil on top before serving.

8. 8

   Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
