It’s Friday! A day when you want a simple, easy meal that you can munch and enjoy with little preparation and even less washing up. These veggie kebabs with spicy harissa dip do just that!
Inspired by Mediterranean and North African flavors, these veggie kebabs add some color and zing to these somewhat dreary October evenings, while the Harissa dip packs a spice punch.
Kebabs are so versatile – you could come up with multiple vegetarian kebab ideas and choose whatever combination of delicious veg you like. Aubergines, bell peppers, red onions, and baby tomatoes are the key ingredients in my vegetable kebab recipe.
The vegetarian kebab recipe only takes about 15 minutes under the grill or on a barbecue, and you can whisk up the sauce in no time while they’re sizzling. For me, these kebabs are a reminder of summer, and a delicious, quick, guilt-free supper. I had mine with rice, but you can stuff yours into pitta breads or do whatever you like!
This is how to make grilled veggie kebabs:

Instructions

Whether you’re BBQ-ing with pals or treating yourself after a long day, these skewers bring the vibes. They’re quick, they’re healthy, they’re your new favorites waiting to happen. If you prefer savory skewers for your BBQ party, you can try skewered chicken Yakitori. This is one of the best skewers I’ve ever had.
