20 Kebab Recipes To Try At Your Next BBQ — Because Everything's Better On A Stick
Winter is a distant memory and barbecue season is officially here, which means it's time to brush up on your grilling skills and try out a few all-star barbecue kebab recipes. The old stereotype of dads and dudes manning a lineup of burgers and dogs is totally passé, and with a little practice anyone can become a grill master. Plus, once you get the hang of it (cavemen did this, it's really pretty simple), your menu options know no bounds.
Of course you can stick to the classics, but a little creativity goes a long way — and barbecuing has the power to bring a whole new depth of flavor to all kinds of dishes. A really great way to expand your BBQ horizons is with skewers. Put your favorite meat, veggies, or even fruit on a stick, whip up a sauce or marinade, and virtually anything is ready to take on the grill. While you're totally free to experiment (and you should), these 20 kebab recipes are a great place to start. Let's get stabbing.
