   • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.

2. Preparation of Veggie Skewers:

   • If using wooden skewers, ensure to soak them for at least an hour prior to assembling the kebabs. This prevents them from burning during the cooking process.
   • Next, prepare the vegetables for skewering. Slice the zucchini and yellow zucchini into rounds, dice the Anaheim chili, and mince the garlic cloves. Cut the lemon into wedges for added flavor.
   • Assemble the veggie skewers by alternating the prepared vegetables and cherry tomatoes. This not only adds a visual appeal to the kebabs but also ensures an even distribution of flavors.

3. Marinating the Kebabs:

   • Once the veggie skewers are assembled, generously brush them with the prepared marinade, ensuring each kebab is evenly coated.
   • Allow the kebabs to marinate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse into the vegetables. For even more intense flavor, you can marinate them for up to 3 hours.

4. Cooking the Kebabs:

   • Preheat your grill or broiler to medium heat, positioning the rack approximately 6 inches from the heat source.
   • Carefully place the marinated veggie kebabs on the grill or under the broiler, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
   • Brush the kebabs with any remaining marinade to enhance the flavors further.
   • Cook the kebabs for approximately 3-5 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking process to ensure they are evenly cooked on all sides.
   • The kebabs are ready when the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, offering a delightful smoky flavor.

5. Serving Suggestions:

   • Once cooked to perfection, transfer the BBQ or Broiled Veggie Kebabs to a serving platter.
   • Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges for a vibrant presentation.
   • These kebabs pair perfectly with a side of fluffy couscous, quinoa, or a crisp garden salad.
