✔️Cooking Tips and Tricks
- Use dull or blunt skewers, like plastic cocktail straws, when sending any of these kids kabob recipes to school with your younger children.
- Try these awesome kid-friendly knives if kids help chop ingredients when preparing kabobs.
- Encourage creativity by letting kids play around with the colors and patterns if they help assemble skewers. Note: Be sure to supervise little ones, as kabob sticks can be sharp at the ends.
- Exercise caution when selecting ingredients for younger kids. For recipes that call for fruit, be aware that small fruits can pose a choking risk for children.
❓FAQ
Kabobs are traditionally a mixture of small pieces of meat and vegetables, seasoned and grilled on a skewer. Kabobs are of Middle Eastern or Central Asian origin. We like to get creative with our kabobs and use all sorts of different ingredients and patterns!
While we prefer to use Bamboo skewers for many kabob dishes, you can also use metal skewers, wooden chopsticks, straws or plastic cocktail straws for no-cook kabob recipes.
