Healthy, because
These grilled cheese-vegetable skewers contain a good portion of the immune booster vitamin C from the paprika and cell-protecting beta-carotene from the Hokkaido pumpkin. The capsaicin from the chilli peppers stimulates the metabolism and the intestines.
Even smarter
You can vary the choice of vegetables for the barbecue skewers according to your mood. The feta can be replaced by halloumi, for example. Potato salad goes very well with the vegetable skewers.
