Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) fresh pineapple
- 2 large red bell pepper
- 2 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces (soaked in water for 30 minutes) wooden skewers
Instructions
Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 1.5-inch chunks.
Wash the red and yellow bell peppers. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes, and cut them into 1.5-inch pieces.
Peel the red onion and cut it into 1.5-inch chunks, separating the layers slightly.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, sriracha sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Place the pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion pieces in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the ingredients and gently toss to coat evenly. Let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
Thread the marinated pineapple, peppers, and onions onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the pieces to create a colorful and balanced lineup.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges of the pineapple and vegetables are slightly charred and caramelized.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Kabobs!
