Most people think that BBQ parties and healthy eating don’t go hand in hand, but that doesn’t have to be the case. You can make your next barbecue as healthy as possible with veggie skewers, and these tips will help you make them as delicious as they get.
Skewer Choice
The first step of making skewers is choosing between metal and wooden skewers. The ones made from stainless steel are your best bet, but if you have wooden skewers, don’t forget to let them soak in water for 15-30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.
Slicing Veggies
When slicing the veggies you’re going to use, try to keep them similar in size. Slices shouldn’t be too thick because they may end up falling off the skewers, especially tender veggies such as zucchini and eggplant.
Tightly Packed
There’s no need to leave too much space between your veggies because they’ll shrink as you grill them, so packing them tightly is your best bet.
Add Variety
Vegetables aren’t the only thing you can use to build your plant-based skewers. If you want to add some variety and make them more protein-rich, tofu is always a good idea.
