Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the marinade. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.

4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables.
