Equipment

  • 1 cup protein of choice (Beyond Sausage, regular sausage, steak cubes, tofu cubes, chunks of chicken)
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare your grill. If charcoal, do this sooner than later. If gas, you can wait til you have the kebabs prepared.
  • Put the salt, oregano, peppers, garlic and onion powders together in a small ramekin and stir to mix. Set aside.
  • Dice the vegetables and protein into even sized pieces. Toss them all in a large container with a tight fitting lid.
  • Pour the oil into the container, put the lid on, and shake to coat.
  • Open the lid and sprinkle the seasonings on the vegetables. Put the lid back on and shake to coat.
  • Thread the vegetables and protein on the skewer in any order you like.
  • Grill over semi-direct heat for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
