1 Whisk olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; brush mixture over vegetables. 2  Cook skewers on preheated grill until vegetables are tender, turning and basting vegetables with olive oil mixture occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.  See how to pickle grilled cucumbers and red peppers.
