If you’re a fan of summer grilling, you need to make sure to add fruit and vegetable kabobs to your grilling repertoire. Cut up a pile of whatever fresh fruits and veggies you have in the fridge. Red onion, mushrooms, pineapple, zucchini, yellow squash, all the bell peppers, mango, and cherry tomatoes are all great options.
Be sure to soak your bamboo kabobs in water for a bit before putting them on a hot grill. While they are soaking, make a seasoning blend. Try olive oil and dry seasoning rub (like Monterey Chicken). Olive oil, lemon juice, fresh garlic, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper. Or olive oil, honey, cumin, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Toss the produce in your seasoning blend, thread the skewers, and grill (save the leftover for drizzling)!
