Grilled Veggie Skewers with Lemon Herb Marinade
Ingredients
Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.)
¼ cup avocado oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, thyme, or rosemary)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating between different types.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the marinade onto the vegetable skewers.
- Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
- Serve hot as an appetizer.
Why Avocado Oil?
When cooking at high heat, your oil choice matters.
Unlike olive oil, which has a moderate smoke point (375-410°F), avocado oil holds up at temperatures up to 520°F, making it ideal for grilling without creating free radicals. Plus, it adds healthy monounsaturated fats that support hormone production and anti-inflammatory balance.
