Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup fresh mango cubes
1/2 cup fresh pineapple cubes
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon maple syrup

  • Mix the yogurt with the coconut, orange juice and maple syrup. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve the kebabs garnished with coconut and the yogurt sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh tropical fruits: Choose fruits that are fully ripe and free from blemishes or bruises. Ripe fruits are sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: Combine fruits with different colors and textures to create visually appealing kebabs. For example, use red strawberries, orange mangoes, green kiwi, and yellow pineapple.
  • Cut the fruits into uniform sizes: Cut the fruits into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces.
  • Skewer the fruits tightly: Thread the fruits onto the skewers tightly so that they stay in place while cooking. Leave a small space between each piece of fruit to allow for expansion during cooking.
  • Brush the kebabs with melted butter or oil: Brushing the kebabs with melted butter or oil helps to prevent them from sticking to the grill and adds flavor.
  • Cook the kebabs over medium heat: Cook the kebabs over medium heat to prevent them from burning. Turn the kebabs occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve the kebabs warm or at room temperature: Tropical fruit kebabs can be served warm or at room temperature. They are a great addition to any party or gathering.
