Ingredients
Marinade:
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp basil
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Kebabs:
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into 1" slices
  • 1 pepper, cut into 1" chunks
  • 1 broccoli, cut into 1" florets
  • 1 cauliflower, cut into 1" florets
  • Optional: sausage from Sprout's online market
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade. Place vegetables (and protein) in a bag or bowl to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  2. Preheat oven or grill to 375 F.
  3. If using bamboo or wooden kababs, first soak in water for 10 minutes.
  4. Add vegetables (and protein) to skewers and cook for about 20 minutes or until protein is cook through.
  5. Enjoy kebabs by themselves, on top of a salad, or beside rice.

Zucchini is mild, slightly sweet and nutty tasting. Younger, smaller zucchini are more tender and have the tastiest flesh. 

Cooking tip: Zucchini can be used in baking, too!

This recipe was inspired by our CSA which included zucchini from Pleasant View Farm.

"Sprout's goals are to provide access to markets for all growers."
- Arlene Jones, Sprout 
Pleasant View is 1 of 18 Amish farms Sprout works with. The Amish population is socially marginalized due to religion. Aggregation of products reduces barriers small farmers have to transport and sell their products.

Typically, farms function on a rural to urban market. Sprout strengthens the rural to rural market to support small farms and help prevent food deserts. Sprout believes we can do more collectively than we can individually. 

Zucchini is a summer squash. While it’s typically treated like a vegetable, technically zucchini is a fruit. It grows from the zucchini flower which is also edible and tasty.

Zucchini is packed with valuable nutrients including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, B vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. As a bonus, zucchini contains antioxidants, too. Antioxidants are chemicals that help limit damage to cells in the body caused by free radicals. This helps prevent diseases like cancer.
