Balsamic Veggie Skewers
- Quick to prepare, perfect for busy weeknights.
- Loaded with seasonal vegetables marinated in a rich balsamic dressing.
- Vegan and gluten-free, making them suitable for various diets.
Ingredients
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 Zucchini, sliced
- 1 Red Onion, cut into chunks
- 8 Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 cup Mushrooms, halved
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Wood or Metal Skewers (like these kebob skewers)
How to Make
To prepare these delicious Balsamic Veggie Skewers, start by marinating the vegetables. In a large bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper together. Add the veggies and let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile, you can preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once marinated, thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors for a colorful presentation. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until veggies are tender and slightly charred. Enjoy these skewers hot off the grill!
Tips
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables based on the season.
- Add your favorite herbs for an extra flavor boost!
Make-Ahead
Prep the veggies and marinate them up to a day ahead. Store them in the fridge until ready to grill.
Storing
Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing
Due to the texture change of grilled vegetables, it’s not recommended to freeze skewers once cooked.
Reheating
Gently reheat in the microwave for a minute or two, or warm them on a skillet over low heat until heated through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside grilled chicken or tofu, or mix into a quinoa salad for a complete meal. Perfect for outdoor barbecues or packed in lunchboxes!
