In a large bowl, toss the skewered vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 5
Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, flipping halfway through.
- 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- 8

Chef's Tips
For easier skewering, slightly soften the zucchini and bell peppers by microwaving them for a minute or two before threading.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, eggplant, or yellow squash to the skewers.
If you don't have skewers, you can roast the vegetables directly on the baking sheet.
Adjust the cooking time based on your oven and the size of the vegetable chunks.
