Everything is more fun on a skewer especially during the summer time! Spice up those zucchini, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and baby potatoes in a simple tandoori twist marinade cooked to perfection on a grill or in the oven!
Key Notes:
- Cornstarch: helps the spices stick to the vegetables.
- Baby potatoes: par-boil as they take much longer to cook than the vegetables.
- To or not soak wooden skewers: SOAK for 30 minutes prior to cooking so they don’t burn.
- Oven Method: If using oven be sure to broil last 2-3 minutes for the charred look/flavor.
- Leftovers: works great in a rice or salad bowl or even on pizza!
