Ingredients
- 2 large capsicum, one red, one green
- 1/2 red onion
- 15-20 small mushrooms
- 1 small zucchini
- 15-20 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 C. olive oil
- 1/4 C. lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 C. coriander, chopped
- 2 T. honey or maple syrup
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Soak 8 skewers in a bowl of water.
- Chop the capsicum, onion and zucchini into bite-size pieces. Take care to make veggies similar sizes so they will cook at the same rate.
- Make the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, coriander, honey, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add all the veggies, including the mushrooms and tomatoes, to the bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Assemble the skewers according to your preference. (This is a fun way to let the kids help with dinner! They love making colourful patterns, and best of all, if they make their own skewer, they're more likely to eat all those healthy veggies! I dull the points of the skewers a little first, to make this activity more kid-friendly.)
- Grill on a barbecue, turning regularly, allowing each side to char just a little, and the veggies to soften. Approximately 5 minutes per side.
