  6. Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  7. Turn the skewers over after 10 minutes and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces like sweet chili or BBQ.
