Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place all the cut vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating colors and types for an attractive presentation. Pack them snugly, but not too tightly.
Place the kabobs directly on the oiled grill grates.
Grill for 8 to 12 minutes total, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and show nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the vegetables with a little extra marinade during the first few minutes of grilling.
If you prefer softer vegetables, cover the grill for the first half of the cooking time to trap steam.
Use metal skewers for easier handling and consistent cooking, or ensure wooden skewers are fully submerged during soaking.
