Ingredients:
– 1 lb of your choice of protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu), cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
– 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
– 1 zucchini, sliced
– 8-10 cherry tomatoes
– Wooden or metal skewers
For the Marinade:
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3 tbsp soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp honey
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp salt
– Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade. Set aside a small portion for basting during grilling.
2. Place the protein of your choice in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and shake well to ensure all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using an indoor grill or oven, preheat to the equivalent temperature.
5. Assemble your kabobs by threading pieces of marinated protein, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.
6. Once assembled, place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade.
7. Grill until the protein is cooked through and veggies are slightly charred, giving them that irresistible smoky flavor.
8. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma alone will have your family and friends gathering around the table in eager anticipation!
