Recently, we have been sharing grilling recipes to try and suit everyone’s tastes. We never want anyone to be hungry at a cookout!
The problem is there isn’t unlimited room on your grill. When you have to feed everyone at your gathering, you might feel you can’t satisfy everyone’s tastes! That’s why we love skewers. You can cook many different meals without worrying about grill space by skewering your food on metal or wood.
Today, we are sharing four skewer recipes that all use the same veggies but different proteins. We have a tofu, pork, beef and chicken option. Each one has a distinct flavor profile. By using the same veggies, you’ll save money and prep time! But, the flavors are different and the proteins will ensure everyone has something they can enjoy!
Red meat isn’t the healthiest choice. We actually wrote a blog about that yesterday. However, you can enjoy your favorite foods from time to time. Having these beef kabobs at a cookout will be delicious, you just have to marinate them well. Sirloin is both cost-effective and tender enough to be used in this recipe. A serving has 168 calories, four grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and seven grams of fat. Get the recipe.
While these pork kabobs use the same veggies, the marinade has a different flavor profile that is perfect for lighter meat. You don’t need to marinate them for as long as the beef, but a longer time in the marinade will increase the flavor. For this recipe, it’s important not to avoid tenderloin. Though it’s often the easiest cut of pork to find, it’s too lean for grilling and dries out. A serving has 237 calories, four grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and 18 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Marinades are not just for meat, and neither is grilling! This recipe includes a vegan ranch dipping sauce. That makes it perfect for people who don’t eat animal products. The marinade makes this tofu so delicious you will enjoy it even if you aren’t a vegetarian. If you aren’t sure if you like tofu, this is a great way to try it. This kabob uses all the same veggies as the other recipes, so you can try this one along with one of the ones you know you’ll love. A serving has 177 calories, 6.8 grams of carbs, 2.3 grams of fiber and 14.1 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Skinless, boneless chicken breast is one of the most common meats cooked at home. That doesn’t mean it has to be boring! With a delicious marinade, veggies and time on the grill, these chicken kabobs could easily be your favorite recipe on today’s list. A serving has 238 calories, 8.3 grams of carbs, 1.6 grams of fiber and 16 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
You’ll satisfy every taste armed with these recipes. We hope you enjoy your next cookout!
