Ingredients

For 4 servings:

• 1 large orange bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes (255 g)
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 large Chinese eggplant
• ½ medium red onion

Mediterranean-Style Marinade:

• ¼ cup flaxseed oil (60 mL)
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1.5 Tbsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Cut all vegetables (except tomatoes) into large bite-sized pieces of equal size for even cooking.
2. In a small bowl, mix flaxseed oil, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Transfer the spice mixture to a large freezer bag. Add the vegetables to the freezer bag, seal, and carefully shake to coat evenly.
3. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
4. Preheat barbecue grill to 300°F (150°C).
5. Remove vegetables from the freezer bag and assemble skewers, alternating vegetables and colors. Discard leftover marinade.
6. Once the barbecue reaches temperature, place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook the vegetable skewers with the barbecue lid open. Using barbecue tongs, rotate the skewers often for even grilling. Remove once the skewers have even grill marks on all sides, approximately 10-15 minutes.
