Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Skewers: Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. This little step guarantees your skewers keep their shape while cooking.

Chop Your Veggies: Wash and chop all your selected vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniformity so they cook evenly. The colors will brighten up your kitchen!

Toss with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine chopped veggies with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is coated beautifully because flavor should never be overlooked.

Skewer the Goodness: Thread the seasoned vegetables onto the soaked skewers alternately for a colorful display. Keep an eye on balance—don’t let those veggies get too cozy!

Grill Those Skewers!: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes until veggies are tender and slightly charred.

Serve and Enjoy!: Carefully remove the skewers from the grill; allow them to cool briefly before serving. Garnish them with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy—because who doesn’t love a touch of green? For more inspiration, check out this Easy Fresh Herbed Tuna Salad recipe.
