Rosemary Vegetable Skewers

October 24, 2016 by Dinner Tonight

Looking for a quick side dish for your family meal? These Rosemary Vegetable Skewers cook in about 10 minutes under the broiler, so you can have kabobs even when the weather isn’t perfect for grilling! This recipe also packs a sodium-free flavor punch by using rosemary and lemon juice as the heart-healthy seasoning.
