- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped into pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes

- 1 tbsp ground sumac
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for serving)
- Fresh herbs (parsley or mint, optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, sumac, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
- Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating types for color and variety.
- Place skewers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or directly onto a grill.
- Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes or grill for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
- Remove and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the skewers, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve warm as a side or main dish.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- You can customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability.
- Great for meal prep—leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Pair with a yogurt sauce or hummus for added flavor.
