Teriyaki Veggie Skewers
The last time we grilled out, we definitely had a his/hers cookout. While my husband made hot dogs (I'm not a fan...), I made these teriyaki marinated veggie skewers. The sauce is based on the Pioneer Woman's Skewers of Glory recipe, but I decided to try them on veggies. The marinade uses teriyaki sauce, but kicks up the flavor with lemon, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. The marinade is slightly smokey, sweet, and has a bit of a spicy kick...well at least when you triple the red pepper flake amount... I love a spicy kick!
I smothered this amazing sauce on some of my favorite veggies - zucchini, onion, green pepper, and red pepper. I had a few red potatoes laying around and decided to try them out, but the pieces were a bit too big and didn't get cooked all the way through. I probably won't use them on the skewer again, but the other veggies were perfectly charred and had a nice crunch!
If you love veggies, you will definitely want to try this recipe. I will be making these skewers again at our next cookout!
