These simple kebabs may become a staple for you if you like grilled foods. In the colder months, they turn out well from the broiler. Serve with corn on the cob, diced fresh tomatoes, and a simple slaw made from shredded cabbage and your favorite vinaigrette.

　　

Ingredients

4 Servings

　　2 medium red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch dice

　　2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick chunks

　　1 pound seitan, cut into 3/4-inch chunks

　　1/2 to 2/3 cup natural low-fat barbecue sauce

　　

Step 1

Preheat the broiler or grill.

　　

Step 2

Using 8- to 10-inch metal skewers, alternate the bell peppers, zucchini, and seitan, in that order, until all the ingredients are used up. There should be enough for 8 skewers.

　　

Step 3

Brush the barbecue sauce over the kebabs, then place on a foil-lined baking sheet for the broiler or on a piece of foil for the grill. Broil or grill, turning every 3 to 5 minutes (use an oven mitt!) until done to your liking. Allow 2 skewers per serving.
