Grilled Fruit Kabobs
Description
Preparing Grilled Fruit Kabobs begins with soaking wooden skewers to prevent burning, then assembling chunks of pineapple, cantaloupe, and whole strawberries onto each skewer. The fruit is lightly coated with coconut oil spray and brushed with maple syrup to aid caramelization during grilling.
Placed over a hot grill, the fruit is cooked for 2-3 minutes per side until tender with light browning, which adds a toasted flavor and softens the texture without losing the fruit's juiciness. Serving the kabobs soon after grilling preserves their best texture and temperature. Accompanying the kabobs with vanilla Greek yogurt adds a cool, creamy contrast to the warm fruit.
Leftover grilled fruit is best repurposed by chopping into salsas or similar dishes and consumed within a few days, as the texture may degrade over time. The simple ingredient list highlights the fruit's natural qualities enhanced by the grilling process.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 cups cantaloupe cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 cups strawberries stems removed
- coconut oil spray
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Greek yogurt for serving, vanilla flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes, to prevent them from burning while grilling the skewers
- To make the fruit kabobs, thread two pieces each pineapple, strawberry and cantaloupe onto skewer. Repeat process to assemble as many skewers as you’d like to make.
- Spray with the coconut oil spray and brush maple syrup all over the skewers.
- Place the fruit skewers on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes total.
- Serve immediately, dipped with vanilla yogurt, if desired.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Serve the kabobs immediately after grilling for optimal texture and flavor.
- Leftover grilled fruit works well chopped into salsas and should be used within 3 days.
