Grill Time! Simple and Delicious- a little char and loads of flavor. The marinade elevates it to the next level of tasty! You can use chicken, steak, shrimp, veggies only, whatever you prefer. Also, many options for veggies-use what you have and love. This time I used sweet bell peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms and fresh pineapple-I have used zucchini and red onions as well, and both are great!
Marinade
First, make your marinade for your meat/protein. Cube up your meat and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Can be upto 24 hrs in the fridge.
Fresh Garlic
Soy sauce
Sweet chili sauce
Fresh squeezed orange juice
Garlic salt
Fresh cilantro
Avocado Oil/Olive Oil - whatever you prefer
Diced pickled ginger
Kabobs
Prepare your vegetables/fruit. Chop into large chunky pieces and add to a bowl. Add a drizzle of avocado/olive oil, and a squeeze of fresh orange juice.
Once the meat/protein marinades at least 30 minutes, it is time to assemble your kabobs and pre heat the grill to med/med high. I use wooden kabob sticks- and just soak them in water for a bit before assembly to help them not catch fire on the grill.
With chicken, I prefer to cook the chicken and veggies on separate kabobs due to the extra cook time for chicken. Also, it seems to keep the chicken from drying out.
Save the marinade to coat during grilling.
Grill the veggie and meat kabobs till fully cooked - rotating a few times to cook all sides. I like to keep the veggies on the top rack for most of the cook time, as they cook faster than the meat. Baste the kabobs during cooking with the marinade.
Once cooked, remove from grill. I like to take everything off the kabobs. and mix in a bowl to serve.
I have served with wild rice, cauliflower rice, roasted potatoes and salad, but this time mixed it up with sweet potato fries and potato “chips” in the Air Fryer and dipped in sriracha ketchup- it was a perfect match!
