Ingredients
Vegetables you'll need:
- 2 medium zucchini, green or yellow, sliced into 1/3" rings
- 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 large yellow onion or sweet onion, sliced and separated into 1" pieces
- 1 lb small-ish mushrooms, rinsed and dried on paper towels
- 10 large wood skewers, soaked at least 30 minutes in water.
Marinade Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/8 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Instructions
How to Make the Moroccan Marinade:
- Put all ingredients into the food processor except for the cilantro, parsley and veggies. Pulse the marinade 5-7 times to mince the garlic.
- Next, add cilantro and parsley then pulse a few more times until your cilantro and parsley look chopped (your veggies will look nicer if you don't puree your marinade.
Assembling the Skewers:
- Rinse, dry and slice all of your veggies, then transfer them to a large bowl or 1 gallon zip-loc bag.
- Pour marinade over your veggies and toss to combine and coat veggies evenly with marinade. Refrigerate for 4 hours to marinate.
- Preheat your grill. Skewer your veggies on your wet skewers just so the veggies are touching each other; no need to pack them together.
- Use a grill brush to oil the grill (it keeps the veggies from sticking). Grill over medium/low heat, turning every few minutes for even grilling. Grill until veggies are soft (about 15 minutes).
- That's all there is to it! So easy and super tasty!
