Sriracha and Maple Syrup Marinade

Ingredients

• Lime juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup, low-sodium recommended)
• Maple syrup (1/4 cup, pure)
• Sriracha (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the sriracha, maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
2. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the texture is smooth.
3. Select your choice of meat (chicken, pork, beef) or vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant) and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
4. Pour the marinade over the selected ingredients, ensuring that everything is thoroughly coated.
5. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours.
6. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates.
7. Remove the marinated items from the refrigerator and discard any leftover marinade (or reserve it for basting).
8. Grill or roast the marinated meat or vegetables, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until cooked through and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes for chicken or vegetables.
