    HOW TO SOAK SKEWERS

    We like to soak our skewers in a baking dish, jelly roll pan, or any dip dish that can fit the skewers so they’re fully submerged under the water. You want to soak the skewers for 10-30 minutes in warm water before loading them with your fruits, vegetables, or meats.

    HOW TO GRILL VEGETABLE KABOBS

    1. Soak the skewers for 30 minutes and while the skewers are soaking chop all of your veggies and prepare your teriyaki sauce marinade.
    2. Once your food is all prepped marinate the veggies with 1/2 cup of teriayki sauce for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure the marinade is evenly setting. Set aside some sauce for serving.
    3. Thred the vegetables onto the skewers once they vegetables are done marinating.
    4. Prepare your grill for medium direct heat. Place the skewers on the grill and grill for 10 minutes on direct heat, and about 10 minutes on indirect heat. While you’re grilling the kabobs you can baste some of the remaining sauce onto the kabobs as they cook.
    5. Serve with sauce set aside for serving.

    Recipe Tips:

    • If you’re using a charcoal grill you can control the temperature by opening the vent on the lid and on the bottom. For precise accuracy, you can use a grill thermometer.
    • For direct heat, spread charcoal out evenly. For indirect heat, move to one side of the grill, and place kabobs on the opposite side.
    • If you want to flavor your teriyaki sauce more you can add fresh ginger, garlic, scallions, and even crushed red pepper or chili flakes.
    • You can also replace the fresh ginger and garlic with powdered version, but the fresh version really take it over the edge.

    FAQs

    What are the best veggies to grill?

    We’ve included our favorite veggies to grill in addition to one of our favorite fruits to grill, pineapple! The best veggies to grill are your favorite veggies, ones you’ll eat and enjoy! 🙂

    How long do you soak skewers for kabobs?

    We recommend letting wooden skewers soak for 10-30 minutes. This prevents the skewers from burning.

    How do you cook kabobs in the oven?

    We recommend cooking on a baking sheet in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Prep is still the same, including the skewers so yes, still soak them in water even if using the oven.

    How do you make a cornstarch slurry?

    To make a cornstarch slurry you combine cornstarch and water in a 1+2 ratio. 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons of water. This slurry will help thicken the teriyaki sauce or any sauce you’re using it with when heating and then will continue to thicken it once it cools.
