Perfect for grilling or roasting, this recipe combines the sweetness of sweet potatoes with the savory flavors of onions and red peppers. It’s an easy dish to prepare and a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
Instructions:
- For oven cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If using a grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks, roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Peel the onion and cut it into large chunks or wedges, making sure the pieces are also around 1 inch in size.
- Wash the red pepper, remove the seeds and stem, and cut it into similar bite-sized chunks.
- Thread the sweet potato, onion, and red pepper pieces onto the skewers. Alternate the vegetables to ensure an even distribution of flavors and colors on each skewer.
- Place the skewers onto a baking tray (for oven) or a plate (for grill).
- Drizzle the olive oil over the skewers, ensuring each piece of vegetable is lightly coated. You can use a brush to spread the oil evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- In the Oven: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through to ensure even cooking. The veggies should be tender and slightly charred.
- On the Grill: Place the skewers on the hot grill, cooking for about 10-15 minutes. Turn the skewers every few minutes so that all sides get evenly charred and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully remove the skewers from the oven or grill. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or a main course.
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes to add variety and color.
