Some people believe that plant-based dishes and BBQ parties don’t mix well together, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are many amazing vegan grilling options, including vegetable skewers, and you make them as delicious as possible with these useful tips.

Skewer Choice

You can pick between two popular options when it comes to skewers: the metal and wooden variety. Metal skewers are your best possible bet, but if you’ve already bought wooden ones, remember to soak them in water for at least 15-30 minutes so they wouldn’t end up burning on the girl and destroying your veggies.

Cutting Tricks

The vegetables that you’re putting on your skewers should be of similar size, but there are a few things you should keep in mind when cutting them. Thin slices won’t do you any favors since they’ll fall off the skewers. Certain types of tender veggies, such as zucchini and eggplant, should be cut even thicker than the rest.

Keep It Tight

It’s pretty common for veggies to shrink during the grilling process, and that’s why you shouldn’t leave too much space between them. Pack them as tightly as you can, because you’ll have a harder time fixing this mistake once they’re already grilling.
