plant-based Barbecuing doesn't have to be boring. So much is possible with vegetable ! What can be a challenge is getting enough filling in. In this dish, the gnocchi takes care of that. Inspired by a recipe by The Green Barbecue from Rukmini Iyer, who he says often grills gnocchi to make it nice and crispy. The same goes for gnocchi grilled on the barbecue: this one gets a nice crispy coating.
This is certainly not a complicated dish, but be careful about the timing of the gnocchi. You don't want it overcooked, because then you run the risk of it falling off the stick during the instructions.
Tips
- You can prepare this dish very well in advance. Then prepare the skewers, but do not brush them with the oil
- You can use other ingredients besides bell pepper , such as cherry tomatoes
