Ingredients
1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 medium zucchini
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 small red onion
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1-Preheat the grill: Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat, about 400ยฐF, and let it fully heat.
2-Cut the ingredients: Cut pork tenderloin, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion into even 1-inch pieces.
3-Make the marinade: Whisk marinade ingredients in a large bowl until honey dissolves; reserve 1/3 in a separate small bowl for basting.
4-Marinate the pork: Toss pork cubes in the remaining 2/3 marinade, rubbing it into each piece.
5-Toss the vegetables: Add chopped vegetables to the same bowl and toss gently until glossy.
6-Assemble the skewers: Thread skewers, alternating pork, peppers, zucchini, and onion, leaving small gaps between pieces; do not pack tightly.
7-Add smoky flavor (optional): If desired, toss a handful of apple or hickory wood chips onto the grill just before adding skewers.
8-Grill first side: Place skewers on preheated grill, close lid, and cook for about 10 minutes until golden grill marks appear.
9-Flip, baste, and grill second side: Carefully flip skewers with tongs, grill another 10 minutes, closing lid for 2โ3 minutes at a time; brush with reserved marinade halfway through and give a final brush just before removing.
10-Check temperature and rest: Insert thermometer into thickest pork piece; cook until 145ยฐF internally, then rest skewers off heat for 3 minutes.

๐ก Always soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to keep them from charring and breaking apart.
๐ช Cut all meat and vegetables into uniform 1-inch pieces so everything cooks at the same rate on the grill.
๐ง Reserve a portion of the marinade before it touches raw pork so you have a safe, uncontaminated batch for basting during cooking.
