Healthy eating meets family fun!
These grilled fruit kebabs are a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen. Have them help (carefully!) thread the fruit on skewers. Or up the fun factor by breaking out some cookie cutters to create different shapes with the fruit first. Finish things off with a balsamic-honey glaze to make this a delicious side dish or dessert the whole family will love.
Tip: Garnish the grilled kebabs with a sprinkle of feta cheese for a salty/sweet combo!
Ingredients:
1 pound hulled strawberries
2 cups pineapple chunks
2 cups watermelon chunks
2 medium bananas, peeled and cut into thick pieces
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil OR corn oil
2 teaspoons honey
Preparation:
- Soak 8 wooden skewers for at least 10 minutes in cold water to keep them from charring, or use metal skewers (9- to 12-inch skewers work best). Set aside.
- Preheat the grill on medium high.
- Thread the fruit onto the 8 skewers in this order: strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, banana, strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, and banana. Transfer the skewers to a platter or baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, using a fork, whisk together the vinegar, oil, and honey. Using a basting brush, brush about half the vinegar mixture over the fruit to glaze it.
- Grill the kebabs for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fruit is caramelized, turning the kebabs several times and basting with the remaining vinegar mixture.
