The oven-baked veal skewers are an easy and tasty second course perfect for everyday dinners or with friends. A simple alternative to the classic grilled steak, more appetizing and also liked by the little ones. Surely a great way to get them to eat meat with vegetables.
Preparing these skewers is very simple! I used pre-cut veal bites, so I avoided the hassle of having to cut the whole piece into bites. Along with the veal, I used zucchini and potatoes: two vegetables usually more appreciated in the family. Of course, you can get creative and use peppers, eggplants, or cherry tomatoes.
In short, just a few simple steps to bring to the table a really appetizing and irresistible dinner, ideal for those with very little time and easy to customize. Now follow me into the kitchen because the oven-baked veal skewers will be ready in a click!
