Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
- 2Add the 4 cups of assorted vegetables to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything together gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- 3Carefully thread the marinated vegetables onto the 8 wooden skewers. Make sure the vegetables are snug but not too tightly packed.
