Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast (or beef, shrimp, or tofu), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup mushrooms, halved
  • Wooden or metal skewers

2. For the Marinade:

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce, honey, and spices.
  2. Marinate the protein: Add the chicken (or other protein) to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  4. Assemble the kabobs: Thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for variety.
  5. Bake the kabobs: Arrange on the wire rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. Broil for extra char: In the last 2-3 minutes, broil on high to add a slightly grilled texture.
  7. Serve hot with a side of rice, salad, or roasted potatoes.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness: 165°F for chicken, 145°F for beef.
