- Skewers- We have listed four methods from which you can choose to cook your skewers. For all methods, brush or spray skewers with oil and salt them to taste.
- 1 - Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (about 375 degrees F). Brush the grill grates with oil or coat with nonstick grill spray. Grill skewers turning the skewers every few minutes so that each side has grill marks for about 10 minutes.
- 2 - Broiler instructions: Preheat the broiler. Brush or spray a sheet pan with oil. Place the skewers in a single layer on a sheet pan. Put the pan approximately 4+ inches under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until well caramelized, then flip the skewers and broil on the other side for 5 more minutes or until 145 degrees. Broilers get very hot, keep a close eye on your skewers the whole time they are cooking as to not let them burn.
