Instructions
 

Prepare the Meatballs:

    - In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

      - Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

        Make the Honey Glaze:

          - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, then remove it from heat.

            Assemble the Skewers:

              - Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat.

                - Thread the meatballs, bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the meatballs and veggies for visual appeal.

                  - Drizzle the assembled skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

                    Cook the Skewers:

                      - Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

                        - Brush the skewers generously with the honey glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for a sticky, flavorful finish.

                          Serve:

                            - Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm as a main dish or appetizer, drizzled with any leftover honey glaze if desired.
