  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika adds a nice touch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. Marinate the Vegetables:

   • Cut the vegetables into chunks as listed.
   • Add the vegetables to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, marinating for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator will enhance the flavors.

3. Prepare the Skewers:

   • Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between different types of vegetables for variety and color.

4. Cook the Kebabs:

   • Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
   • Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased rack. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown.
   • Stovetop: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through and have grill marks.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. They pair well with a side of rice, couscous, or a fresh salad, and a dollop of yogurt or tzatziki on the side.
