Super delicious vegan peanut, cilantro, miso and ginger grilled veggie skewers.
These cute little veggie skewers are perfect for summer barbecue time. Marinated in a creamy, herby peanut and miso sauce, these colourful veggie kebabs make a tasty and healthy grilled side or main. This marinade is packed with tons of flavours to take your favourite veggies to a whole new level. I can guarantee you it’s gonna be a hit even with the craziest veggie haters. Plus it’s super quick and easy to whip up.
It feels a bit late to post a barbecue recipe, since the summer is almost over, but as I always say better late then never. Okay, I’m pretty sure I’ve never used this phrase before, and never will again, but who cares, it’s true. This summer has gone soooo fast, or in our case it actually hasn’t really arrived. In April and May and maybe even in June we were grilling outside a few times, but since that there wasn’t a single weekend it wasn’t raining or I didn’t have to work. I planned on posting a lots of great grill recipes with beautiful picnic pictures (cause that’s how we do it here – in parks), but the clouds in Hamburg have decided they’d prefer to see Potato Casserole and Artichoke Tart recipes here instead. What can I do?
Anyhow, I’ve decided I’d hate myself if I didn’t have at least one quick grilled recipe on the blog this year, so I took out my trusty little grill pan while cursing the unpredictable weather to share with you one of our favourite barbecue marinade recipes. It was a massive success in our house (and parks) for sure. This time I grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, zucchinis and mushrooms, but feel free to change this up with using whatever veggies, tofu, tempeh or store-bought veggie meat you wish.
If you try this recipe, let me know! I would highly appreciate if you could leave a comment and rate it. Also don’t forget to take a picture and tag it on Instagram (use the hashtag #greenevi) or post it on Facebook! I love seeing what you come up with! ♥︎

So in love with that flavor-packed marinade! And it is NEVER too late to post a grilling recipe! All the more!
Happy to hear that! I’d love to grill all year, every day 🙂
Better late than never: LOL. You know what though, you pull it off. 😉 Also, what is up with local weather and work holding you back from enjoying this summer? That stinks… I’m glad you said, “forget you!” to the weather and busted out your trusty lil grill anyway. The sound of a creamy and herby peanut miso sauce is all that I can think about now. Woah! Also, bonus points (and 10 high-fives) for your rockin’ description. 😉 I gotta say though, I’m kinda happy things worked out the way they did, because your potato casserole is still on my food daydreams list. 🙂 Hoping better weather comes your way soon! Pinning, of course. xoxo
Thank you so much, Demeter!
I’d for sure really love a little bit of sunshine 😀
Until that I can only pretend we are having summer weather eating your ice creams 😉
I seriously wouldn’t miss the meat here, Evi. They look droolicious!
Thanks, Angie 🙂
Same here, somehow this summer was rather grey and stormy (right now it’s rainy and cold as if it were November :-/). Thanks for the lovely recipe, I have a big batch of mushroom at home and didn’t know what to do with it, now you’ve given me some inspiration. I have corn, zucchini and bell peppers at home, can’t wait to make these grilled veggie skewers, especially since the marinade sounds exciting!
Thanks, Stella!
I really don’t know what’s going on this summer, it’s such a shame, we can’t enjoy the lovely summer sunshine.
Hoping better weather comes in our way this summer still! 🙂
Being a vegetarian myself, there is a lot for me to love in this beautiful platter. And I am sure even people who eat meat wouldn’t miss any meat here. Love how delicious vegan grilled veggie skewers look, Peanut + cilantro + miso sound like a great combo.
Thanks, Anu 🙂
Don’t you worry, Evi! Here in North America summer officially lasts up to the 20th of September so you have plenty of time to post some sommer recipes (you can always refer to us, if you need an excuse haha). Besides, these veggie skewers are so pretty that not posting them would be considered a crime:) Well done!
Thank you, Ben!
I guess then North America stole our summer here, coz it’s just about that much shorter here 😀
It looks amazing, so colourful and full of flavours. Yummy.
Thanks, Anca 🙂
2 what of lemon!?
