About the Ingredients:

These Spicy Veggie Skewers are loaded with fresh, colourful ingredients like oyster mushrooms, tender potatoes, bell peppers, and fava bean tofu. The marinade features a zesty blend of mustard, sugar-free barbecue sauce, organic sriracha, and a touch of agave for sweetness. Fresh cilantro adds the perfect finishing touch, making each skewer both vibrant and full of flavour!

Oyster Mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms are the star of these Spicy Veggie Skewers, adding a meaty, satisfying texture that absorbs all the bold, spicy marinade flavours. Their slightly chewy bite pairs perfectly with the tender potatoes and crisp bell peppers, creating a delicious contrast that makes every skewer irresistible. When baked, they become golden and slightly crisp on the edges, delivering that perfect balance of texture and taste.

Plus, their rich, earthy flavour enhances the overall depth of the dish, making each bite a savoury delight. On top of all that, they’re packed with antioxidants, vitamins B and D, and fibre, bringing both taste and health to your plate!

Potatoes

Potatoes enhance these Spicy Veggie Skewers with their hearty texture and ability to balance the bold marinade. Baby red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape when baked and absorb the spicy sauce well.

If you don’t have those, you can substitute with fingerling potatoes, which are similar in texture, or Russet potatoes cut into smaller pieces for even cooking. Sweet potatoes are another option, adding a delightful sweetness that complements the marinade. Just remember to adjust the cooking time based on the type of potato you use to ensure they become tender!

Bell Peppers

Bell peppers add a vibrant burst of colour and sweetness to these Spicy Veggie Skewers, making them not only visually appealing but also deliciously flavourful. Their crunchy texture provides a nice contrast to the tender potatoes and chewy oyster mushrooms, ensuring a delightful bite every time.

As they cook in the Caraway Marigold Cookware Set, the bell peppers become slightly caramelised, enhancing their natural sweetness and complementing the spicy marinade beautifully. Rich in vitamins A and C, they also contribute antioxidants and promote immune health, making these skewers not only tasty but nutritious as well!

Fava Bean Tofu

Fava bean tofu adds a hearty, protein-rich twist to these Spicy Veggie Skewers, complementing other ingredients while holding its shape during baking. Its mild flavour absorbs the zesty marinade, enhancing the dish's overall taste. Packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and essential nutrients, it supports muscle health and digestion, making it a nutritious choice for vegan recipes.

Fava bean tofu is versatile and easy to digest, making it an excellent alternative to soy-based tofu, and its ability to pair well with various ingredients enhances the flavours of your favourite plant-based meals.

Organic Sriracha Sauce

Organic sriracha sauce brings a delightful fiery kick to these Spicy Veggie Skewers, making it an essential part of the marinade! Its vibrant blend of sun-ripened chili peppers and garlic adds the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, creating an explosion of flavour in every bite.

Plus, using organic sriracha means you’re enjoying a clean ingredient without any artificial additives. With its bold taste and potential health benefits, this sauce elevates your skewers to a whole new level of deliciousness!

If Sriracha Sauce is not for you or you simply want to try other fiery flavors, here are some vegan substitutes for organic sriracha sauce:

Chili garlic sauce: Similar kick with extra garlic flavour.
Harissa: Offers a unique blend of spices and heat.
Hot pepper sauce: Mild heat without overwhelming the dish.
Sambal oelek: Fresh chili taste with a hint of tanginess.
Thai sweet chili sauce: Sweetness balanced with mild heat.

These alternatives will keep your Spicy Veggie Skewers flavourful and exciting!
