Tips for Perfect Grilled Veggie Skewers
Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Cut Evenly: Ensure vegetables are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
Mix It Up: Add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, asparagus, or baby corn for variety.
