We’ve got something a little different for you today. Grilled fruit. I’m not pretending to have invented grilled fruit or anything. But it is not something we usually do. Grilled vegetables- all the time. Grilled fruit- almost never. After this little snack that is all about to change though. Why have I never been a fruit griller before? Officially a convert. Officially on the grilled fruit bandwagon for life!
When we made this grilled fruit we included pineapple, nectarines, mango, and strawberries. We loved the pineapple, nectarines, and mango. Didn’t love the strawberries so much. I omitted the strawberries from the recipe below but obviously they are pictured. I just dont like warm, soft strawberries. At least now I know. But the pineapple, nectarines, and mango? Nothing sort of delicious. And with that dipping sauce? To die for! Fire up your grill and make some yummy fruit!
Here is what you’ll need
Prepare your fruit
Mix together the lemon juice and the coconut oil
Place the fruit on skewers and brush with the coconut oil/lemon juice
