We love getting our kids to help out in the kitchen as much as possible.
They went to a Montessori preschool where they learned how to chop, so they love practicing on veggies.
This is an easy meal to make with kids. They can help measure and pour to make the teriyaki sauce, chop all the vegetables, and assemble the skewers.
And if you’re short on time, you can always substitute your favorite pre-made teriyaki sauce (our family favorite is Hawaiian Huli Huli sauce.)
We usually serve it with Pineapple Fried Rice, but you can also do potatoes.
This is also an awesome camping recipe to make! Just prep all the items before your trip so all you have to do is assemble and cook!
