• 2 Tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
• 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky twist)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning on the veggie grill.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

4. Thread the vegetables and pineapple onto skewers, alternating colors to create a vibrant kabob.
5. Preheat your veggie grill or charcoal BBQ to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
6. Brush the skewers with the herb blend of olive oil, rosemary, and smoked paprika.
7. Place skewers on the grill grates, cover, and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, turning once for even char marks.
8. Use a grill spatula or tongs to gently lift and rotate—to keep the kabobs intact.
9. Check for tender-crisp vegetables and caramelized pineapple edges before removing.
10. Transfer skewers to a platter, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve hot.
