Butternut Squash, Zucchini and Sweet Potato Skewers

It was Saturday morning when a friend invited me to a birthday barbeque on Sunday. I knew that most of the dishes would be meat-based and I wanted to prepare a plant-based dish that everyone could enjoy! These butternut squash, zucchini and sweet potato skewers were perfect!

They look so fancy but they were so easy to prepare! I chopped the squash, peppers, onion, zuccchini in the morning, soaked them in the basil vinaigrette and they were ready for the grill at noon! The mix of the vibrant colors of the veggies makes the skewers so beautiful. This one definitely scored some points over the weekend. I hope you get to try it especially for sharing with friends and family. It’s one that makes a lasting impression! Enjoy xx
