About Skewers

Skewers, a popular dish in many cuisines, consist of bite-sized pieces of meat, vegetables, or seafood threaded onto thin sticks and grilled or roasted. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culinary traditions, variations of skewers can be found worldwide, from Greek souvlaki to Japanese yakitori. This versatile dish often includes lean proteins like chicken, beef, or shrimp, accompanied by nutrient-rich vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or onions. Skewers are typically seasoned with herbs and spices rather than heavy sauces, making them a healthy option when prepared without excess oil or sodium. The high heat cooking method can help retain nutrients in vegetables while adding flavor through charred edges. However, health-conscious eaters should watch out for overly processed marinades or dips high in sugar and salt. Skewers are a customizable and balanced meal that can fit well into a variety of dietary preferences.
