Skewers
If you are using bamboo sticks, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. If you use metal, be careful and always use tweezers or heat protection.
When adding vegetables to the skewers, be sure to leave a small gap between each vegetable so that the heat circulates around to cook each piece completely.
Go ahead and do the storage instructions
You can chop the vegetables up to the day before. If they leave any liquid, be sure to drain the liquid before adding the oil and spices just before grilling.
Keep in fridge Vegetables up to three days after removing them from the skewer in an airtight container.
Reheat Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or olive oil.
