30 Minute Pork and Vegetable Kebabs - Grilled or Broiled

Enjoy these Pork and Vegetable Kebabs (with bacon!) grilled or roasted in the oven. They require NO marinating time, so they are an easy recipe for entertaining or a quick dinner.

This recipe was sponsored by Collective Bias and Smithfield, and I am so excited to share it with you!

Can anyone tell me why food on a skewer always tastes so good??

These Vegetable and Pork Kebabs are an absolute favorite of mine. And not only because they are ready in just 30 minutes (which, let's be honest, would be enough of a selling point on its own).

This kebab recipe is super easy because it requires NO marinating time. I simply used a pre-marinated pork loin to make these kebabs. I used the Smithfield Applewood Smoked Bacon Loin Filet because, um, BACON, but any other pre-marinated pork loin filet from the grocery store will work.

It's such an easy shortcut to making delicious, flavorful kebabs. NO one will complain, I promise. And if pork kebabs sound good to you, be sure to also check out these ground pork kebabs.

Ingredients for these veggie and pork kebabs:

To make these kebabs, just dice the pork loin into 1-2 inch cubes, and put it on skewers with your favorite grilling vegetables: zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions. Add some diced pineapple, if you like mixing sweet and savory. 

Just remember to soak the skewers in water for a half hour, if you're using wooden or bamboo skewers instead of metal ones. This is to prevent burning. If you don't want to have to remember to soak the skewers every time, get some metal ones here.

Grill or oven?

This recipe works awesome both on the grill or broiled/roasted in the oven - either way it is super quick and delicious. The cooking time for both methods is about the same: 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your diced pork loin. If you're grilling, preheat the grill to about 300-350F. If you're roasting or broiling these in the oven, preheat the oven to 400F.

Just remember to flip these pork kebabs halfway through, so they cook evenly all over and don't burn.
