by

Potato and vegetable kebabs are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed any time of the day. When paired with a creamy yogurt marinade, they become even more flavorful and healthy. This recipe is perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or a quick dinner option for the whole family.

Ingredients Needed

  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • For the yogurt marinade:
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Preparation Steps

Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

While the marinade is chilling, preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the vegetables and potatoes by threading them onto skewers, alternating the different vegetables and potatoes for a colorful presentation.

Once assembled, brush the kebabs generously with the yogurt marinade. Reserve some marinade for serving if desired.

Grill the kebabs for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. If baking, place them on a baking sheet and cook for the same duration, turning halfway through.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of extra yogurt for dipping. This dish makes a healthy and satisfying snack or light meal.
