Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 40 pearl onions, peeled
- 4 scallions, cut into thin rounds
- Zest and juice from 1 large lemon
- Kosher salt
- 3 large red bell peppers, seeded, quartered and cut into bite-size pieces (about 20 pieces per pepper)
- 3 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces per zucchini)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the glaze: Cook the honey in a medium saute pan over medium heat until golden brown and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, pearl onions, scallions and lemon zest and juice. Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions are tender and the sauce is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the onions and let them cool. Keep the sauce warm.
- Skewer the vegetables: Start each skewer with a pearl onion followed by alternating 3 pieces pepper with 3 pieces zucchini and finishing with another pearl onion. Arrange the skewers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Cook the vegetables: Preheat the grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
- Brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them on the other side and move them to a slightly cooler part of the grill if they are getting overdone. Cook until the vegetables are tender, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skewers in a single layer to a large serving platter and spoon the glaze over them. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.

So delicious the vegetables were fantastic! I cooked one zucchini small and one red bell pepper with the regular yellow onion it’s just me. I ate the whole plate of them
Alex, Your daughter is delightful. I could spend an afternoon with her. She has great qualities, among them maturity. You have a lot to be proud of with Ava. How fortunate each of you is to have the other. Best wishes to you and congratulations to your fiance, a very lucky man.
