Ingredients

• Bell peppers (red, yellow, green) - 200 grams
• Zucchini - 150 grams
• Red onion - 100 grams
• Mushrooms (button or cremini) - 150 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
4. Add the vegetables and cherry tomatoes to the marinade, and toss until they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5. While the vegetables are marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning, if using wooden skewers.
