INGREDIENTS:

• 2 zucchinis, cut into chunks (~1-inch slices)
• 1 onion, cut into chunks
• cherry tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks (optional)

MARINADE INGREDIENTS:

• 1⁄2 tsp of dried basil
• 3 tbsp of fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. Slice vegetables into chunks.

2. Prepare the marinade by mixing together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, and cilantro.

3. Marinate the vegetables and pineapple for 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile, if using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in water to prevent burning when grilling the vegetables.

6. Cook the veggie skewers on both sides for approximately 5 minutes per side.

7. Serve with some grilled BBQ chicken.
