- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Notes
- You can use any vegetables you like for these kebabs. Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and yellow squash work well.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook these kebabs under your broiler. Place them on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
