Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken breasts or thighs (skin-on for juiciness)
  • Extra-firm tofu (for vegetarian option)
  • Grass-fed beef strips (lean cuts)
  • 3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs
  • Ground cumin
  • Freshly chopped chives or green tops of scallions
  • Zucchini and yellow squash (sliced thick)
  • Red bell peppers (cut into large chunks)
  • Eggplant slices
  • Cherry tomatoes on the vine
  • Baby spinach or mixed greens
  • Cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • Carrot ribbons
  • Fresh parsley and mint
  • Lactose-free yogurt
  • Dijon mustard
  • Fresh lime wedges
  • Toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Prep the marinades: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon tamari, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate protein in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours, no more than 4 hours.
  2. Cut and season vegetables: Slice zucchini and yellow squash into ½-inch thick rounds, cut bell peppers into large chunks, halve cherry tomatoes. Toss with 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Let sit while grill heats.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Clean grates with grill brush and oil lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble skewers: Thread marinated protein and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving space for heat circulation. Handle tofu gently.
  5. Grill kebabs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and protein is cooked through (chicken internal temp 165°F).
  6. Prepare a simple side salad: Toss baby spinach or mixed greens with sliced cucumber, carrot ribbons, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of lactose-free yogurt mixed with lemon juice and chopped mint.
  7. Serve kebabs with salad, garnish with fresh lime wedges, toasted pine nuts, and chopped chives.

Notes

Use garlic-infused olive oil instead of fresh garlic to avoid IBS triggers. Marinate proteins for 30 minutes to 2 hours but no longer than 4 hours to prevent mushy texture. Press tofu well before grilling to remove moisture. Soak wooden skewers to avoid flare-ups. Rotate skewers on grill for even cooking. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to control flare-ups. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; can freeze for up to 1 month after removing skewers.
