Tips

  • For a deeper caramelization, you can briefly broil the skewers for the last 1-2 minutes, watching them very closely to prevent burning.
  • These skewers are best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
