Steps:
- Combine coconut aminos, orange juice, avocado oil, ginger, and chile-garlic paste in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Season marinade with salt and pepper and add chicken pieces. Gently squeeze the sides of the bag, coating all of the chicken with the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and spread out chicken pieces in a single layer inside the bag.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, turning the bag a few times during that time.
- Drain marinade into a small saucepan and add pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until marinade has reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, alternately thread each skewer with chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and pineapple. Repeat until each skewer is filled.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Set skewers on the hot grill grate. Brush with reduced marinade, reduce heat to medium, close the lid, and grill 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with marinade reduction. Monitor for flare-ups, and move skewers as necessary to manage any flames. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve skewers over hot cooked rice.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat grill on high. Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand pineapple upright on cutting board; cut into quarters from top to bottom. Cut each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Thread three pineapple slices onto each skewer.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice, and the mint, if using. Brush over the pineapple, reserving about half of the glaze.
- 3. Coat pineapple with cooking spray. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it begins to brown. Brush with remaining glaze and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a golden yellow color and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid pineapples that are too green or have brown spots.
- Cut the pineapple into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly on the skewers. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into four equal pieces.
- Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes: This will help prevent them from burning on the grill. You can also soak them in pineapple juice for extra flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help the pineapple caramelize and get a slightly charred flavor.
- Grill the pineapple skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized: Be sure to turn the skewers frequently so that they cook evenly.
- Serve the pineapple skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include honey mustard, teriyaki sauce, or sweet chili sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled pineapple skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make summer treat. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or simply enjoying as a snack. With their sweet and smoky flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a tasty and refreshing treat, give grilled pineapple skewers a try.
