Thread the vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between eggplant, zucchini, and onion. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired.
