• 2 medium yellow squash, cut into 1-inch slices

• ½ pound whole fresh mushrooms

• 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients in advance.

Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grate. Skewer chunks of pineapple, slices of zucchini and yellow squash, mushrooms, onion pieces, tomatoes, and bell pepper chunks in alternating layers.

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper; brush some of this mixture over the vegetables.

Grill the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking until the vegetables are soft. Turn and baste with the remaining olive oil mixture every few minutes, cooking for 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve and savor!
