Ingredients:

1 green pepper, cut into large squares

1 red pepper, cut into large squares

1 yellow pepper, cut into large squares

1 orange pepper, cut into large squares

1 onion, cut into large squares Large mushrooms, cut into thick pieces or whole if small

1 zucchini, sliced about

1 ½ cm thick

1 elongated eggplant, cut in half lengthwise and then into squares.

A few small broccoli florets A few cauliflower florets Optional cherry tomatoes for topping

½ cup olive oil Salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, rosemary

1 clove of garlic, crushed Juice of one lemon

Directions

In a large bowl, add broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and eggplant, and pour olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the vegetables marinate for one hour.

After one hour, add the remaining vegetables to the bowl (except for the cherry tomatoes) and mix. Take the skewers and thread the vegetables alternately. Make sure to put similar-sized vegetables to ensure even cooking.

Grill the skewers on a grill or charcoal, turning them on all sides.

You can add cheese to your souvlaki. Prefer hard cheese (to prevent it from falling through the grill), such as graviera or Metsovone cheese. To incorporate it properly into the souvlaki, "nest" it between two mushrooms (their concave shape creates a pocket).

You can use marinades of your choice. It is essential to marinate the harder vegetables first to ensure even cooking with the other ingredients.

You can find a soy-based marinade here and a mustard-based marinade here.
