Delicious Grilled BBQ Meatball Skewers

These meatball skewers feature tender meatballs coated in a tangy BBQ sauce, grilled to perfection on skewers. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup BBQ sauce
Skewers (wooden or metal)
Vegetables for skewering (bell peppers, onions, zucchini optional)

Instructions

Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Assemble Skewers: Thread the meatballs onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of vegetables if desired.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Glaze with BBQ Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the meatballs with BBQ sauce and allow to caramelize slightly.
