How to Make these Skewers
The ingredients are simply roasted and skewered, making them a delicious and super easy app that can be prepped ahead and rewarmed. This is basically a sheet pan recipe where roasting commences, is simple to put together and a cinch to clean up.
There's a blend of bold flavors and textures with the creaminess of the potatoes and spicy char on the chorizo to balance the sweet tenderness of the peppers. I also included a couple poblano peppers in addition to the bells for another subtle hint of heat.
The skewers hold their own in deliciousness, but this make-ahead Roasted Garlic Crème puts things over the top. It's no secret I'm a huge fan of roasted garlic, and whipping up this dip was a no-brainer. You don't need the entire head for the recipe. I like having extra on hand just to schmear on some crusty bread. So good!
The dip also combines tangy crème fraiche, Greek yogurt, and is brightened with fresh lime and cilantro. A perfect complement for the skewers, and even a delicious spread for sandwiches, burgers and tacos.
To serve, spread some of the Garlic Crème on a plate, layer the skewers on top with a squeeze of lime and extra cilantro or parsley. Keep some of the extra crème on the side to pass separately. Hope you enjoy! Cheers for now!! xx, Kim

Instructions
Skewers
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place the potatoes on a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place the peppers and onion on another large, rimmed baking sheet along with the halved lime.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over potatoes, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle both baking sheets generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast both trays for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Place chorizo on a medium sheet pan and bake at same temperature for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Or, you can brown the slices in a skillet on the stove.
- Squeeze the roasted lime halves evenly over the potatoes, peppers and onion, and chorizo.
- Once the vegetables and chorizo are cool enough to handle, skewer 2 of each item onto the bamboo skewers, alternating with fresh cilantro and parsley leaves, as desired.
- Rewarm assembled skewers in a low oven if needed or microwave.
- Serve with Roasted Garlic Crème.
Roasted Garlic Crème
- In a small bowl, mash the garlic cloves into a paste.
- Add the crème fraiche, yogurt, lime zest and juice. Whisk until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
Notes
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top third off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle top with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Completely enclose in heavy duty foil. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle squeeze out cloves. They should be very soft and fragrant.
- Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate. Reserve extra for another use, like schmearing on bread!

Kim, these are some really impressive and beautiful skewers. Easy to make but packed with flavour (Two votes go to chorizo, from both Daisy and I hehe), colourful, and elegant! And with this roasted garlic crème, that's perfection!
