Tips and tricks

Make the best ever vegetarian kabobs by following these suggestions:

Try to cut the vegetables in a uniform size so that they cook evenly.
Marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, up to overnight. The longer you marinate, the more flavor the kabobs will have.
If you choose to not marinate the veggies on the skewers, you’ll need to soak the skewers so they don’t burn. Let them rest in water for 10 minutes before assembling with the marinated veggies.
If you don’t have skewers, cook the veggies on a grill pan or a foil lined baking sheet.
An outside grill gives the most flavor. Cook over a medium flame for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 7 minutes.
You can also cook them on a pan or oven bake them. If you bake them I suggest baking at 400° for about 10-15 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
Reheat on the stovetop, in the microwave, or in an air fryer.
