Grilling

Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Feel free to swap out the vegetables with your favorites, like zucchini or cherry tomatoes. For added heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the BBQ sauce mixture. For a different flavor, try using teriyaki sauce instead of BBQ sauce, or add more tropical fruits for a colorful twist.
