Variety is the spice of life, and these summer kabob recipes are so easy and full of variety, you never have to get bored!  They’re easy to make ahead, delicious, low-carb, low-fat, and fun to take to your next barbecue event!

Let’s talk skewers…

We recommend using double skewers to help prevent meat and veggies from spinning when they shrink as they cook.   Poke one skewer through one side of the meat or veggie, and then insert a second skewer about ¼” apart from that the first skewer.  This will hold everything in place!   

If you use bamboo skewers be sure to soak them first to prevent them from burning on the grill.  Metal skewers are always terrific and reusable.

Cooking Pro Tip:  Remember that kabobs can have almost any ingredients! Mushrooms, onions, beef, chicken, peppers, the list is endless!  Always choose foods that will remain somewhat firm after cooking so they don’t fall apart on the grill. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with your favorite ingredients!
