Balsamic Veggie Skewers
- Quick and easy preparation, perfect for busy weeknights.
- Deliciously marinated in balsamic vinegar for a burst of flavor.
- Customizable with your favorite vegetables and perfect for vegans!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, cubed
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers (or metal skewers) for grilling
How to Make
First, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the vegetables, tossing to coat thoroughly. Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating colors for a beautiful presentation. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, and then place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Serve immediately for an easy, healthy meal!
Tips
- Feel free to add your favorite veggies like mushrooms, asparagus, or even fruits like pineapple.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some chili flakes or add fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the skewers a few hours in advance. Just marinate the vegetables and keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to grill.
Storing
Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
Freezing
For best results, it’s not recommended to freeze these skewers after grilling. However, you can prepare the marinated but uncooked skewers and freeze them. Just remember to thaw before grilling.
Reheating
Reheat leftover skewers on the grill for a few minutes, or use a microwave to warm them up quickly.
Serving Suggestions
These Balsamic Veggie Skewers pair perfectly with grilled chicken or fish. They also work wonderfully as a topping on a fresh salad or served alongside a quinoa bowl.
