Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

2 Cups Pineapple

2 Cups Cantaloupe

2 Cups Peaches

½ Lime, Juiced

2 Tbsp Maple Syrup

Oil Spray

¼ Tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  2. Chop the fruits into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Thread the fruits through the skewers, alternating each fruit type. Transfer them onto a baking sheet.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together lime juice and maple syrup. Brush the mixture all over the skewers and spray with oil spray.
  6. Place fruit kabobs on the grill in a single layer. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes or until grill marks have started to form.
  7. Remove to a serving plate and sprinkle cinnamon on top as desired.
