This easy and versatile lemon garlic marinade is ideal for grilling or broiling meat and vegetable kabobs any time of the year.

It’s a simple fact: meat on a stick is more fun to eat than meat off of a stick. Am I right? If you love making kabobs but never think to make them or always forget to soak the dang wooden skewers hours in advance, I’d like to introduce you to my favorite stainless steel flexible grilling skewers.

My mom gave them to me for Christmas many years ago and they just make dinner time more fun, end of story. No soaking required, just chop up whatever meat and vegetables you have on hand and get to skewering!

This simple yet flavorful lemon garlic marinade is my go-to weeknight marinade and it will soon become yours. Lemon juice is a natural meat tenderizer and fresh, raw garlic gives all of those boring vegetables and boneless chicken breasts a one-way ticket to Flavortown.

We happened to have peppers and onions on hand but zucchini, eggplant or portobello mushrooms would work well too. The options are endless.

Your fork is waiting.

    I made these and love, love them. I just bought a foodi grill so I can make them anytime. Since olive oil is not recommended for that grill, can I use canola oil or Gravesend oil?

    How long would you cook these under the broiler in the oven? How far away? Looks amazing. Love the marinade ingredients.

      You can do these under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes per side, about 6 inches from the broiler!
