Grilled Vegetable Kabobs

There's no better way to get all the joys of summer in one place, a single skewer. This isn't the most unique recipe but in the summer I can't eat enough of grilled vegetables on a skewer. Reminder: if you're using wooden skewers soak them a few minutes before loading. This will ensure they don't catch on fire during cooking. Enjoy!

What you need:

• 2 cups mushrooms

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

• 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks

• 2 candy onions, cut into chunks

• 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

• 1 yellow squash, sliced into thick rounds

• Basil leaves - green & purple

FOR THE MARINADE

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, pressed

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1/2 Tblsp oregano

• 1/2 Tblsp basil

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano and basil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

• Thread vegetables and basil leaves onto skewers. Brush olive oil mixture onto the skewers and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

• Place skewers onto hot grill, turning every few minutes for about 8-10 minutes. Coat vegetables with excess marinade as you turn the skewers. (Alternatively you can cook the skewers on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes)

• Serve immediately
