Steps

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.

4. Preheat the grill or BBQ to medium heat.
5. Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating the types for a colorful presentation.
6. Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
