Instructions

Prepare the vegetables:
Wash and cut the zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and mushroom into 2.5cm (1 inch) chunks.
Prepare the marinades:
In one bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, parsley, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper for the citrus-herb marinade.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Assemble the skewers:
Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating between colours and types of vegetables.
Grill the skewers:
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Serve and enjoy:
Serve the grilled vegetable skewers with a drizzle of the remaining marinades or dressings.

Notes

Tips:

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the skewers in a preheated oven at 205°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and marinades to create your own unique skewers.
