- For homemade garlic and herb seasoning, combine dried minced garlic, kosher salt, garlic powder, dried basil, dried parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- For oven directions, bake skewers at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
- For grill directions, grill skewers over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
