Today let’s talk about grilling! Summertime is the perfect opportunity to fire up the grill and enjoy some delicious food outdoors. One of my favorite things to make on the grill is vegetable skewers. They are so easy to put together and they make for a beautiful presentation. Here are two grilled vegetable skewer recipes that I think you will love, along with the ingredients and instructions for each.
First up, we have Grilled Tempeh and Vegetable Skewers with Habanero Pineapple Sauce. Start by soaking 8 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Then, cut 8 ounces of tempeh into cubes and marinate them in 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Thread the tempeh cubes onto the skewers, along with some red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping once. For the sauce, blend together 1 cup of pineapple chunks, 1 habanero pepper (seeds removed), 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Drizzle the sauce over the skewers and enjoy!
Next, we have Grilled Vegetable Skewers. Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Cut up some of your favorite veggies into large pieces – we recommend eggplant, zucchini, red onion, and bell peppers. Thread the veggies onto the skewers and brush them with olive oil. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping once. Serve hot and enjoy!
These two recipes are not only delicious, but they are also packed with nutrients. Grilling vegetables helps retain their natural flavors and colors, and it’s a great way to add some variety to your meals. Plus, with the summer heat, who wants to be stuck indoors cooking?
In conclusion, whether you’re a vegetarian, trying to eat healthier, or simply looking to switch things up on the grill, these vegetable skewer recipes are perfect. They are easy to make, full of flavor, and great for summer get-togethers. So, fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing food!
