Vegan Vegetable Skewers

Ingredients
2 cup of the following vegetables cut into 1-inch pieces, or any other roasting veggies:
Mushrooms - White, Golden, or Portabella
Bell Peppers of any or all colors
Onions - Yellow or Red (do not separate layers completely otherwise onions tend to burn), use at least 3 layers per Onion piece on skewer
Zucchini
Tomatoes, Regular or Cherry Tomatoes
Carrots - large (small Carrot pieces tend to break when skewering)
I teaspoon Olive Oil
Spice mixture:
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Paprika
Parsley
Dill or Rosemary
Ground Red Pepper (all according to your preference)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Other items
Large Bamboo Skewers,  soaked in water to prevent scorching
Directions
Skewer the chopped vegetables, making sure they are close together.  Mix spices with the olive oil in a small container and brush veggies with oil mixture using a small basting brush.  Cook skewers on grill until veggies are tender, turning often to ensure they don't burn. Use hickory or mesquite chips when grilling to add more flavor.
Abstinent Measuring
1 recipe = 2 vegetables and 1 fat
Make-it-a-Meal
Great with 4 oz. of Vegan Meatless Hamburger-style Patties and a 1 cup Salad for dinner.
