Instructions

1. Soak 4 bamboo skewers in water for 10-15 minutes, then drain. Always make sure you soak your bamboo skewers to avoid burning on the grill or drying out. This will also prevent the food from sticking.
2. Start building your kabobs by alternating fruit, veggies and protein. Placing moist ingredients like the pineapple next to drier ones helps everything cook evenly. Leave a few inches at the end of each kabob so you have room to grab and turn them on the grill.
3. Lightly drizzle olive oil on all sides of the skewers. Season with salt and paprika if desired.
4. Place the skewers on a hot grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, turning regularly until nicely colored. Serve plain or with horseradish sauce for dipping.
