These marinated fresh veggie kabobs are packed with tons of flavor – perfect as a healthy side dish to any meal!
With my half marathon coming up in just 51 days, this is my attempt at eating like a champ. And if all dishes were like this, I could easily give up meat and become a vegetarian tomorrow.
Plus, colorful veggies are much more fun and appealing to eat. It’s like sprinkles in savory food form.
And my apologies on the mass photography here. I got a little carried away with my rainbow veggies.
If you’re not keen on any of the vegetables included here, feel free to omit as needed. The star here is the garlic lemon marinade, a simple concoction of olive oil, fresh garlic, lemon juice and some dried herbs. It’s super simple but it’s packed with tons of flavor.
And you can either grill or roast these. I had to go with the latter since an outdoor grill is not much of an option in a small metropolitan apartment!
Still, grilled or roasted, these kabobs are easy to whip up and they’re sure to give you your daily serving of veggies. Feel free to serve them as a light lunch or as a side dish to any meal, although no one one will be paying attention to the main dish when these are on the table!
