Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Skewers
- Baking Rack
Ingredients
- 8 ounces paneer cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.5 small red onion cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.5 red bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.5 green bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 small zucchini sliced into 24 rounds
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Salt to taste
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ground coriander, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, minced garlic, ginger paste, olive oil, and plain Greek yogurt until smooth. This creates your flavorful marinade!
- Place the paneer cubes and all the chopped vegetables (red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and zucchini slices) into a large bowl. Pour the prepared marinade over them and gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to truly soak into the ingredients.
- While marinating, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Thread the marinated paneer and vegetables onto your wooden skewers. Aim for a pattern that includes 3 zucchini slices, a cube of paneer, and a mix of onion and bell peppers on each skewer. You should be able to make 8 delicious kebabs!
- Arrange the skewers on a baking rack and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip them over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the paneer is lightly golden.
- Remove the kebabs from the oven, season with salt to your liking, and serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal!
