Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 2 medium zucchini slices, 1 large red bell pepper pieces, 1 large red onion wedges, and 12 whole button mushrooms, tossing to coat all vegetables evenly.
2. Step 2: Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating types for color and texture. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the vegetable skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes until edges are charred and vegetables are tender but still firm.
4. Step 4: While vegetables grill, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce by mixing 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
5. Step 5: Remove the vegetable kebabs from the grill and serve immediately with the garlic yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
