This recipe is an easy side dish that can be adapted for year-round eating, using whichever delicious seasonal vegetables you have on hand.
These veggies can also take the center stage when served with other grilled fare, like steak, chicken or fish or bask in their heartiness and enjoy them as a vegetarian main course.
It’s loaded with spice, garlic, and balsamic glaze so it’s fragrant, while also having a nice kick to it, which makes some amazing spicy grilled vegetables! They just need about 15 minutes in the oven then pull remove and serve with a delicious minty yoghurt sauce and some soft naan or pita bread!
What Veggies Work Best?
While almost any veggie can be skewered and grilled, these are my favourite vegetables for kebabs:
Eggplant
Baby Marrows
Mixed Colour Peppers
Cherry Tomatoes
Red Onion
Do I Need to Soak Wooden Skewers Before Grilling?
Yes! To prevent the dry and brittle wood from burning on a hot grill, you’ll need to soak them in water first for about 30 min.
