Vegetable Kebabs with BBQ Sauce

I always enjoy trying out new BBQ sauces. There are so many variations that have a different flavors and spice. This one is pretty standard, but I enjoyed the hint of maple and molasses and sweetness from the agave. Although I'm not a huge fan of tofu, I bet this BBQ sauce would go great with it!

2 tbsp oil

1 red onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cans of diced tomatoes with liquid

¼ cup maple syrup

¼ cup agave

¼ cup molasses

½ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tsp dried mustard

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp black pepper

Vegetables for the kebabs (mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc)

Step One – Heat the oil and add the onion. Cook until soft, about 5-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for only one more minute.

Step Two – Add in the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 1 hour.

Step Three – Use an immersion blender, food processor, or blender to puree the bbq sauce.

Cooking - Heat a indoor or outdoor grill over medium. Brush the BBQ sauce over the vegetables and grill until tender. Serve over rice with additional BBQ sauce.

Sauce simmering for 1 hour.
