3 simple kid-friendly kebabs

Cherry tomatoes + chicken + asparagus


Cut 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts into 1-in. cubes. Coat with 1 tbsp soy sauce in a bowl. Cut 4 asparagus spears into pieces. Alternately thread cherry tomatoes, chicken and asparagus on skewers. Oil grill. Barbecue over medium, lid closed, until chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 min per side. Brush with 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce.



Tip: Can’t find sweet chili sauce? Stir 2 tbsp honey with 2 tsp rice vinegar and 1/4 tsp chili-garlic sauce or Sriracha.

Sirloin beef + green onions + shiitake mushrooms


Cut 500 g top sirloin steak into 1-in. cubes. Combine with 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tbsp each sesame oil, honey and minced ginger in a bowl. Marinate for 30 min. Cut 3 green onions into pieces and remove stems from mushrooms. Alternately thread beef, onions and mushrooms on skewers. Oil grill. Barbecue over medium, lid closed, until beef is done to medium, 3 to 4 min per side.

Large marshmallows + pound cake + strawberries


Cut pound cake into 1-in. cubes and hull strawberries. Alternately thread 16 large marshmallows, cake cubes and strawberries on skewers. Oil grill. Barbecue over medium, rotating occasionally, until grill marks form, 5 to 6 min. Drizzle with 1/2 cup melted milk chocolate chips.


Tip: Preheat barbecue to medium. Soak 10 skewers in warm water for 20 min before grilling to prevent skewers from burning.
