There’s nothing better than a shish kebab on the grill during the summer months. You’re going to love these healthy skewer recipes that are not only perfect for summer but you’ll be craving them year round.
You could also do something super easy like veggies and dip (my personal favorite) or a bagged salad from the grocery store. It doesn’t have to be a gourmet, homemade meal to make it healthy.
Vegetables to Cook on Skewers
If you’re looking for what vegetables can you put on skewers and grill, here are a few of my personal favorites:
Bell peppers (red, orange, green)
Mushrooms
Red onion
Zucchini
Yellow squash
Cherry tomatoes
Corn
Cauliflower
Asparagus
You can also add a ton of flavor with fresh herbs, cut lemon, and sliced pineapple alternated throughout your protein and veggies.
