Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
40 pearl onions, peeled
4 scallions, cut into thin rounds
Zest and juice from 1 large lemon
Kosher salt
3 large red bell peppers, seeded, quartered and cut into bite-size pieces (about 20 pieces per pepper)
3 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces per zucchini)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the glaze: Cook the honey in a medium saute pan over medium heat until golden brown and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, pearl onions, scallions and lemon zest and juice. Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions are tender and the sauce is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the onions and let them cool. Keep the sauce warm.
  • Skewer the vegetables: Start each skewer with a pearl onion followed by alternating 3 pieces pepper with 3 pieces zucchini and finishing with another pearl onion. Arrange the skewers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Cook the vegetables: Preheat the grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
  • Brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them on the other side and move them to a slightly cooler part of the grill if they are getting overdone. Cook until the vegetables are tender, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the skewers in a single layer to a large serving platter and spoon the glaze over them. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.

These skewers are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra vegetables in my fridge and these skewers are a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but these skewers were surprisingly good. The honey-soy glaze really made all the difference.

The honey-soy glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. It really enhances the flavor of the vegetables.
