Turmeric Infused Grilled Vegetable Skewers
Turmeric Infused Grilled Vegetable Skewers are a vibrant and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The skewers are made with a variety of fresh vegetables, including zucchini, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes, which are marinated in a flavorful blend of olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. The skewers are then grilled until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred. The result is a delicious and healthy dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
I first had turmeric infused grilled vegetable skewers at a friend's house a few years ago. I was immediately hooked on their vibrant color and delicious flavor. I asked my friend for the recipe, and she was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making these skewers ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine and my family. I love that they are so easy to make and that they can be customized to your own liking. You can use any type of vegetables that you like, and you can adjust the amount of turmeric and other spices to your own taste. I also like to serve the skewers with a variety of dipping sauces, such as hummus, tzatziki, or ranch dressing.
