2. Brush the skewers with olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
3. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
4. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
5. Once the skewers are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving platter and generously drizzle the peanut sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve these mouth-watering grilled veggie skewers hot off the grill, and watch as your guests devour them with pure delight.
