Grilled skewers are a versatile dish popular in many cuisines, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian. Typically made by threading bite-sized pieces of protein—like chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu—and colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions onto skewers, they're seasoned with herbs, spices, or marinades before being cooked over an open flame or grill. Grilled skewers are a healthy option as the grilling method reduces added fats, and the combination of lean proteins and nutrient-rich vegetables provides essential vitamins, minerals, and protein. However, they can vary in healthfulness depending on the marinade or sauce used, as some may be high in sodium or sugar. Often enjoyed as a balanced meal or appetizer, grilled skewers are a flavorful way to incorporate whole foods into your diet while embracing global culinary traditions.
