Grilled Chili-Lime Veggie Skewers
Makes about 6 skewers
Ingredients:
1 big handful of baby bella mushrooms
1/2 red onion
1 mango
1 red pepper
1 zucchini
For the chili lime oil:
2 tbsps olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsps fresh lime juice
Splash of agave syrup or honey
1/2 tsp cumin or chili powder
Pinch of cayenne (optional)
Salt & pepper
Serving options:
Extra lime slices
Tortillas
Salsa, any kind you like, or this roasted tomatillo salsa recipe
Queso fresco
Avocado slices
Directions:
1. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before you start grilling so they don't burn.
2. Whisk together the chili lime oil, set aside.
3. Preheat your grill (or grill pan).
4. Chop veggies so that they are somewhat uniform in size and thread them onto the skewers. Sprinkle them with some salt and brush the veggies with the chili-lime oil.
5. Grill for a few minutes on each side, until the mushrooms are cooked through and a nice char has formed on the edges of the veggies. (About 10-12 minutes total, depending on the size of your veggies and the heat of your grill.)
6. Remove from heat and brush them with the remainder of the oil.
