Main Ingredients

Optional Marinade Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly when skewered.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces, similar in size to the sweet potato cubes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lemongrass

    Take the lemongrass stalks and trim the ends. Smash the stalks with the back of a knife to release their flavor.

  4. 4

    Marinade (Optional)

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Add the sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Let them marinate for 15-30 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Skewering and Cooking

  1. 5

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and zucchini onto the lemongrass stalks. Alternate the vegetables for a colorful presentation.

  2. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. If cooking indoors, you can also use a grill pan on the stovetop.

  3. 7

    Cook the Skewers

    Brush the assembled skewers with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill them for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly charred.

  4. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
