TOTAL TIME

In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, crushed red chili flakes, chopped oregano, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and red wine vinegar.

Slowly add extra-virgin olive oil to the herb and citrus mix, whisking continuously until well blended.

MARINATING

Toss the zucchini and summer squash cubes in the prepared marinade. Make sure all pieces are coated evenly.

Let the zucchini and squash marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor absorption.

GRILLING

Preheat your grill over high heat.

Thread the marinated zucchini and squash cubes onto the soaked skewers.

Place skewers and halved red onions directly onto the hot grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 5-6 minutes total for the skewers and up to 15 minutes for the onions.

SERVING

Remove skewers and onions from the grill. Allow onions to cool, peel off charred skin, and slice. Remove zucchini and squash from skewers.

Toss grilled zucchini, squash, and sliced onions with remaining marinade. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
