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.
