- 3 yellow squash

- 1 cup protein of choice (Beyond Sausage, regular sausage, steak cubes, tofu cubes, chunks of chicken)

- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (more to taste)
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder

Prepare your grill. If charcoal, do this sooner than later. If gas, you can wait til you have the kebabs prepared.
Put the salt, oregano, peppers, garlic and onion powders together in a small ramekin and stir to mix. Set aside.
Dice the vegetables and protein into even sized pieces. Toss them all in a large container with a tight fitting lid.
Pour the oil into the container, put the lid on, and shake to coat.
Open the lid and sprinkle the seasonings on the vegetables. Put the lid back on and shake to coat.
Thread the vegetables and protein on the skewer in any order you like.
Grill over semi-direct heat for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
