Romy London’s grilled gnocchi skewers with basil dip are a fresh and fun addition to your next barbecue. This vegan dish combines soft, pillowy gnocchi with grilled vegetables like courgette, red bell pepper, and onion. A quick brush of olive oil, a sprinkle of seasoning, and onto the grill they go. The result is smoky skewers that pair well with the easy-to-make basil pesto dip that completes the dish.

The basil dip is super simple — just mix vegan mayo, basil pesto, and a squeeze of lemon juice. It’s creamy, herby, and perfect for dunking the grilled skewers.

The recipe is great for hangouts, quick weeknight dinners, or even as a party food snack for a crowd. Serve the skewers hot with the dip on the side and watch them disappear, fast. It’s easy, delicious, and just a little different from the usual BBQ fare.
