Roasted rosemary veggie skewers
I loved this concept so much and I wanted
to share it with you. It's not so much of an amazing recipe- more just the
quirky skewer thing going on ;-)
Perfect for BBQ's or summer dining
al-fresco, the flavours are fresh and enticing and it will make your dinner
companions smile.
There are two simple requirements for this
dish:
1- some veggies that can be skewered
2- robust fresh rosemary 'stalks' to act as
the skewers
I have a rosemary plant in the garden so
had easy access to cut some skewers, some of the skewers I cut were not quite
robust enough but they still do the trick and infuse the veggies with flavour.
I used my fingers slide the veggie chunks onto my plate just before I ate them
and many of the rosemary leaves came away too- yum!
The light oil baste over the veggies was
kept simple here so the flavour of the herbs could do their thing, but you
could add some more spice if you liked with chipotle sauce or chilli flakes. I
served the skewers as a side dish along with the samphire quinoa dish
and flatbread wedges.
Bon apetite!

1 red pepper and 1 courgette)
2 tsp oilve oil (or preferred oil)

chili or cajun)
4 robust rosemary stalks to act as skewers
Method:
Prepare the vegetables to be skewered and
toss in the oil and spices.
Carefully thread the veg pieces on the
rosemary stalks, going along the direction of the leaves so that they largely

5-10 minutes until golden along the edges.
