A little about this dish

This extraordinary BBQ dish reimagines tradition by merging Mediterranean flavours with a summertime staple. The richness of beets is complemented by fresh herbs and tangy feta.

Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🍖🌡️

Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat.
Step 2 — 🚰🍲🔥

Place beet quarters in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Then, drain and let them cool.
Step 3 — 🍯🍋🧂

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper.
Step 4 — 🥣🥦🍠

Add cooled beets, zucchini, and red onion pieces to the bowl. Toss until well coated with the dressing.
Step 5 — 🍢🔀🧅

Thread the veggies onto skewers, alternating beets, zucchini, and onion.
Step 6 — 🔥🕓🔄

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, or until veggies are nicely charred. Make sure to turn occasionally for even grilling.
Step 7 — 🌱🧀🪴

Right before serving, sprinkle skewers with crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped parsley, and mint.

A final fox tip

These skewers are a fun and interactive meal that the whole family can enjoy. Get the kids involved by having them help assemble the skewers, under adult supervision of course! For a vegan alternative, replace the honey with agave and omit the feta.
