Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.

Make the fruit skewers by adding the fruit (about 6 pieces of fruit total each) to the skewers, alternating between the mango, pineapple, and watermelon.

Squeeze the lime juice on top of the skewers and let marinate for about 10 minutes while you heat your grill to 400 degrees F.

When ready to grill, brush both sides of the skewers with oil and place the skewers on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side and remove from grill to a large plate.

In a small bowl, mix together the lime zest, chili powder, and sea salt. Sprinkle over top of the skewers and ENJOY!!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Fruit Uniformly 🔪
Cut watermelon, mango, and pineapple into similarly-sized chunks (about 1.5 inches) to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
Pat Dry Before Grilling 💧
Pat all fruit pieces completely dry with paper towels before skewering to remove excess moisture, which allows for better caramelization and prevents steaming on the grill.
Soak Wooden Skewers 🌊
Submerge wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning and charring during grilling.
Create the Perfect Spice Rub 🌶️
Mix sea salt, chili powder, and lime zest together, then brush lightly on fruit just before grilling to prevent the spices from burning while still delivering bold flavor.
Use High-Heat Oil Strategically 🫒
Brush the grill grates with high-smoke-point oil rather than the fruit itself to prevent burning and create better grill marks while maintaining the natural sweetness of the fruit.
