How to make your own kabobs

1. A little pep in your prep: Slice your ingredients into 1/4-inch-thick strips or chop into uniform 1-inch pieces. If using a marinade, now is the time to do it. Marinate at least 30 minutes—or better yet, do this a day in advance for more flavor without the waiting.
2. Soak it all in: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes so they don’t catch fire. Save time by soaking a bunch and freezing until you’re ready to cook!
3. Skewered in your favor: Toss ingredients with oil and seasoning. If using chopped ingredients, slide onto skewer, leaving a little space in between. If using sliced protein, thread onto skewer.
4. Light it up: Add kabobs to preheated grill and cook turning and basting halfway through.
5. Photo finish: Now that your kabobs have finished cooking, it’s time to add even more flavor and texture! Top with sauces, herbs, spices, cheese, etc. and serve.
