    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    People often think that cannabis edibles have to be sweet treats like brownies or chocolate chip cookies, but that's not always the case!

    As I am always teaching my Well With Cannabis Community, there are many different ways to consume cannabis edibles.

    And that includes healthy cannabis recipes.

    We will enjoy these delicious summer vegetables topped with savory cannabis-infused basil pesto for this recipe.

    Ingredient Notes

    Garden Harvest Veggie Pesto Skewers by Emily Kyle Nutrition
    • Wooden skewers: be sure to soak these in water before grilling
    • Zucchini: sliced
    • Yellow squash: sliced
    • Sweet corn: cut into rounds
    • Mushrooms: any kind you like
    • Tomatoes: like grape or cherry
    • Olive oil: regular or cannabis-infused olive oil
    • Salt and pepper: regular or cannabis salt
    • Pesto: regular or cannabis-infused pesto

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Alternate Infusion Options

    To infuse this recipe with cannabis, we will use a homemade cannabis pesto.

    There are many different ways to make a delicious, cannabis-infused pesto at home using ingredients you've already got.

    Like all cannabis edibles, there is no right or wrong way to make something; it depends on your available options and personal preferences.

    In this homemade pesto recipe, I show you how to make cannabis pesto using:

    • Raw cannabis leaves
    • Cannabis-infused olive oil
    • Leftover cannabis pulp
    • Decarbed cannabis kief
    • Cannabis concentrates like FECO

    Use a Foil Pack Instead of Skewers

    It's no secret that I love food on a stick for a good reason.

    But the truth is that simplicity is key when making healthy cannabis recipes.

    Just simple roasted veggies on the grill with homemade cannabis basil pesto on top is the perfect way to enjoy cannabis edibles more healthily.

    I love to make these on skewers to get that delicious char on the outside, but I have made the same recipe in a foil packet when I don't have enough time to skewer everything, and it turned out just as delicious.

    If you want to do it this way, you can throw your foil packet on the grill for 7-10 minutes or even roast it in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use cannabis-infused olive oil on these skewers?

    In step 4, I recommend brushing these skewers with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill. I do not recommend using cannabis-infused olive oil at this point, as the grill temperatures can be very high and potentially denature the THC in the oil. Save your infused oil for after the cooking process.

    Can I brush these skewers with pesto BEFORE grilling?

    Just as above, I do not recommend brushing these skewers with pesto before grilling. Again, the temperatures of the grill can be too high and unpredictable. For the best results, wait until after the skewers have been completely cooked before adding the cannabis-infused pesto.
