Instructions

1-Prep the grill and skewers: Preheat grill to 400-450°F. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

2-Cut the pork and vegetables: Cut pork tenderloin and vegetables into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.

3-Make the marinade: Whisk olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.

4-Marinate the pork: Coat pork with two-thirds of the marinade; let sit 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated. Toss vegetables with remaining marinade just before grilling.

5-Thread the skewers: Alternate pork, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion on skewers, leaving small gaps. Use two parallel skewers if using bamboo.

6-Grill the kabobs: Oil grates; grill skewers 10 minutes per side, closing lid for 2-3 minutes at a time. Brush with reserved marinade halfway and before serving.

7-Check doneness and rest: Cook until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature. Rest 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

🔪 Cut every piece to about 1 inch so the pork and vegetables finish cooking at the same time.
🌡️ Pull the kabobs off the grill as soon as the thermometer reads 145°F to keep the lean tenderloin juicy.
🍢 Use two parallel skewers per kabob if using bamboo to stop the food from spinning while you turn them.
