Baked Veggie Kabobs

Kabobs are a healthy and quick side dish to any meal. They even make a great meal all on their own if you add marinated chicken, beef or pork to the kabobs. Today I decided to make veggie/fruit kabobs as a side dish. I used green and red peppers with chunks of fresh pineapple and cooked them in the oven but they are also delicious on the BBQ. This time, I didn't season my kabobs with anything because veggies have great natural flavor, but you can also baste them with your choice of marinade or sprinkle with your favorite seasoning. I highly recommend Lawry's Herb and Garlic marinade if you choose to baste the veggies before you cook them.

Some veggies that work well for kabobs include: red and green peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, red potatoes and any other veggies that you would like to use.

Fruit kabobs are also delicious and don't require any cooking. String bananas, strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple and any other fruit on a skewer and serve for a healthy snack or side dish. Kabobs are so easy and so much fun to make with the family. Each person can personalize them and make them however they want.

Baked Veggie Kabobs


1 pkg. bamboo skewers
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 fresh pineapple
(other fruits or veggies of your choice)


1. Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes or over night, if possible. This helps keep the skewers hydrated and will prevent them from catching fire while cooking
2. Chop pineapple and red and green peppers into 1 inch cubes
3. Thread onto skewers, alternating veggies and pineapple
4. Place wire cooking rack on top of a cookie sheet and arrange kabobs on cooling rack
5. Broil 6 inches from heat for approximately 10 minutes, turning kabobs after 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.


Serve immediately.
