Tips
- Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill. Ensure they are fully submerged in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Don't overcrowd the grill. Cook skewers in batches if necessary to allow for even cooking and better charring on all sides.
- Serve these vibrant souvlaki skewers hot off the grill with a side of tzatziki sauce, pita bread, or a fresh Greek salad.
