Summer Vegetable Skewers With Pesto Drizzle Recipes

SUMMER VEGETABLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. With a colander set in the sink, lightly sprinkle the eggplant or zucchini with a little salt. Toss well and set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Pat vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and add to the bowl. Gently toss to coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
• Thread vegetables onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), keeping the eggplant and zucchini on separate skewers, if using both vegetables. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
• When the grill is hot, add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Brush with remaining marinade and squeeze a lemon wedge all over. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.

SUMMER VEGETABLE PESTO RIBBON SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut the ends off the zucchini. With a vegetable peeler, shave off as many thin slices as possible and transfer a large bowl. Repeat with the yellow squash and carrots.
• Place the grape tomatoes between 2 large plates or tupperware lids. Press down, securing the tomatoes in place, and use a long, sharp knife to slice the tomatoes in half. Add to the bowl with the shaved vegetables.
• Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Make the pesto: Add the basil, parsley, cashews, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor and process until smooth.
• Spoon the pesto onto the shaved vegetables and mix well with tongs until fully coated and serve.
• Enjoy!

SUMMER VEGETABLE SKEWERS WITH PESTO DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Cook basil for 30 seconds. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Dry basil gently with paper towels.
• Process basil, oil, and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth. Strain through a sieve into a small bowl.
• Preheat grill to medium. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 5 to 6 seconds.)
• Thread vegetables onto skewers (1 of each kind per skewer). Brush lightly with basil oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill until softened, flipping often, about 12 minutes. Drizzle with remaining basil oil.
