  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Method:

  •  If you have wooden skewers, soak them in water for 2 hours to avoid them flaking off when cooking. It is preferred that you use metal skewers.
  • Combine the balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, rosemary, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper in bowl. Whist until well combined.
  • Put all the veggies in a big salad bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss well.
  • Cover the salad bowl and leave in your fridge overnight.
  •  When you're ready to grill them, pre-heat a non-stick pan or BBQ grill while you put in all the veggies in the skewers in any order you like but maintain a consistent pattern.
  • Grill each skewer for about 12 mins, turning sides every 3 mins to ensure that all 4 sides of the veggies are cooked well.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!!
