Vegan Dinner: Marinated Vegetable Skewers

Happy Hump Day! One more day and we are off to CANADA....aye? So excited! I've been to Canada once when I was little to visit Niagara Falls but this is the first time visiting since I've grown up. Be sure to check out the next post when I get back...it's gonna be a good one.

Dinner was simple...some marinated skewers cooked in the oven and fresh corn on the side. For the first time I used Gardein "Beef" Tips. My verdict? I enjoy the "Chicken Tenders" from the brand much more but the dish was still very tasty. I'm warning you though...watch the skewers! I must've poked myself at least 5 times. Zero fun.

Ingredients:

-8 wooden skewers

-2 red skin potatoes (cut into large chunks, see picture above)

-1/2 red onion

-Gardein Beefless Tips (3 pieces for each skewer)

-2 cups of organic cherry tomatoes

-12 small heads of broccoli

-2 yellow squash

-1 zucchini

-1 cup of peeled organic garlic (about 4 pieces each skewer)

-1 portion of my Sweet Thai Chili Sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, set aside a non stick pan and cover with tin foil

2. Take each skewer and evenly distribute vegetables like so: zuchinni, tomato, onion, garlic, 2 meats, garlic, squash, broccoli, tomato, potato, meat

3. After filling 8 skewers, marinate each with Thai Sauce using a baster

4. Cover with tin foil and cook for 15 minutes

5. Keep checking the dish and once the potatoes are cooked through you're done! Serve with fresh corn and couscous

Enjoy!
