What to serve with Vegan Italian Caprese Kebabs
These one-bite morsels are the perfect snack for a party to eat solo, without plates or forks. If you’d like to turn them into a full meal, try pairing them with a pasta salad, flatbread pizza, or eggless frittata.
Look for balsamic glaze without added sugar
Balsamic glaze is readily available in most grocery stores, but many brands include added sugar. Be sure to read the label and look for no-added sugar or low-added sugar (less than 4 grams of added sugar).
If you’d like to make your own, you can simply place 1 cup of balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, until it reduces to a syrupy consistency. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Let cool completely before using.
