In a wok heat oil add onions and garlic, saute until light golden. Next add the maple syrup or honey, ketchup, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, paprika or chilly powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir for a minute and let cool. Thread the diced vegetables on the skewers and add the marinade on the skewered vegetables. Marinade the vegetables for an hour or two.
