Summer is ending but that doesn’t mean grill season must be over. One of the most fun ways to make and eat grilled foods is on a skewer. The stick makes them easy to hold and turn over on the grill, and they come in perfectly portioned servings. Here are some of the yummiest things to grill on a skewer.

Chicken Satay

This Indonesian chicken dish involves marinating chicken in spices and herbs such as onions, coriander, and turmeric and char-grilling to perfection. It is served with a peanut dipping sauce which you can easily make at home, too.

Veggies

Grilled veggies make a great side dish or vegetarian alternative to grilled meats. One of the best to grill is onion, which you can skewer in such a way to preserve the unique layered circles. Other delicious veggies include portobello mushrooms (which you may need to chop in order to skewer), bell peppers, and zucchini.

Pineapple and Peaches

Two of the most grillable fruits are pineapple and peaches. Grilled pineapple is a common topping for burgers, while peaches are often grilled to bring out their syrupy goodness and eaten with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
