This recipe for Oven-Baked BBQ Skewers with Honey-Garlic Glaze uses high-heat roasting to achieve those sought-after caramelized edges on your chicken skewers and beef skewers.

By adding bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion to the pan, you create a complete meal where the vegetable juices mingle with the meat drippings. For the best results with these Oven-Baked BBQ Skewers with Honey-Garlic Glaze, ensure your oven is fully preheated to create an immediate sear.

Whether you're serving this for a family dinner or a weekend treat, the combination of tender meat and charred vegetables delivered by this method is unbeatable.

Chef's Tips

  • For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of cumin to the glaze.
  • Ensure the vegetables are cut into similar sizes so they cook at the same rate as the skewers.
  • If you want even more char, turn on the oven broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking, but watch closely to prevent burning the sugar in the glaze.
