Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Grilled Vegetable Skewers are a versatile and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetiser, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customised with your favourite vegetables.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the vegetables:
    • Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
    • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.

  3. Season the skewers:
    • Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Grill the skewers:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
