I’ve tested many veggie skewer recipes, but what makes these special is the marinade. A good balance of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs elevates the flavors of the vegetables. I marinate the veggies for just a few minutes, allowing them to absorb an explosion of taste without becoming overly soggy. The texture remains crisp after roasting, giving each bite that satisfying crunch.

Not only do these skewers look great on a platter, but they are also extremely versatile. You can switch up the vegetables based on your preference or what’s in season. I love adding a mix of bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes for a burst of colors and flavors. They always fly off the plate!

Choosing Your Vegetables

The beauty of the Super Bowl Party Roasted Veggie Skewers lies in the variety of vegetables you can use. While the recipe suggests red bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and cherry tomatoes, feel free to experiment. Try adding mushrooms or asparagus for different textures. Just remember, for optimal roasting, choose vegetables with similar cooking times. Cutting them into uniform sizes—about an inch—ensures even cooking, which is key to achieving that tender, slightly caramelized finish you'll love.

If you’re looking to adjust the flavors of your skewers, consider marinating your veggies in advance, allowing them to soak in that olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herb blend. Marinating for at least 30 minutes can deepen the flavor significantly, but if time is short, even a quick 15-minute soak will still impart a nice tang. This extra step makes a noticeable difference, enhancing the overall taste profile during roasting.

Roasting Tips

When roasting your veggie skewers, preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) is essential. This temperature allows the vegetables to roast rather than steam, creating those desirable golden edges. If you find that your skewers are cooking unevenly, consider rotating the baking sheet halfway through. This method helps ensure that all sides receive equal heat, resulting in beautifully roasted vegetables that are tender and full of flavor.

If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to assembly. This prevents them from burning in the oven, allowing them to support your veggie creations safely. Alternatively, metal skewers are a great choice and can withstand high temperatures without the risk of burning, making them a reliable option for a perfect roast every time.

Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to make these delightful skewers:

Ingredients

2 red bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Skewers (wooden or metal)

Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.

Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your roasted veggie skewers:

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Marinate Vegetables

Add the bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Assemble Skewers

Thread the marinated vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the colors and types for a beautiful presentation.

Roast Skewers

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the veggies are tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips

Experiment with different seasonal vegetables or add proteins like tofu or chicken for a heartier dish!

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers from your Super Bowl Party Roasted Veggie Skewers, storing them properly is key to maintaining their flavor and texture. Allow the skewers to cool to room temperature and then transfer them to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the skewers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to avoid sogginess that can occur in the microwave.

For make-ahead options, you can marinate the vegetables a day prior and keep them in the fridge. Assemble the skewers the day you plan to serve them. This saves time during your game day preparations and maximizes the flavor, as marinating overnight gives the vegetables a chance to absorb the marinade fully.

Serving Suggestions

These roasted veggie skewers shine on their own, but you can elevate the experience by pairing them with various dips. A creamy garlic aioli or a zesty hummus would complement the flavors perfectly. Additionally, serve them alongside grilled meats or tofu for a more substantial meal, making them versatile enough for all your guests' preferences, regardless of dietary choices.

For a fun presentation, serve the skewers on a large platter with fresh herbs scattered around. Not only does it look appealing, but it also enhances the aroma, inviting everyone to dig in. Plus, feel free to share your guests' favorites so they can recreate the magic at home, leading to even more fun culinary experiments!
