These delicious kebabs couldn't be easier. I got the idea from Georgia over at The Comfort of Cooking (minus the chicken, of course). They're a go-to side dish that brightens up any backyard BBQ.

Recipe type: Side dish
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 8 kebab skewers (soaked in water for 10 minutes if bamboo)
- 1 large (or 2 small) red or sweet onions, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 large pineapple, cut into 1¼-inch chunks (or a 1-lb container if pre-cut)
- 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1¼-inch chunks
- ⅓ cup of your favorite barbeque sauce (or more, if desired)
Directions
- Thread each skewer with 3 chunks each of onion, pineapple, and pepper, alternating as you go. (I like to keep each onion wedge 3-4 layers thick only so they cook quickly.)
- Brush each kebab with barbecue sauce.
- Grill kebabs, covered, for 5-6 minutes. Brush with more barbecue sauce, turn, and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the edges of the pineapple begin to caramelize.
Notes
Any extra fruit and veggie chunks go great on salads the next day, or pop them on an extra skewer.
For an easy Hawaiian upgrade to any veggie burger, buy a second pineapple, remove the core, and slice into rings. Grill rings until lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through cooking. Use to top your burger (along with sweet onions and a little smashed avocado) for a tropical treat!
