Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if using)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the ham, pineapple, and bell peppers to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated ham, pineapple, and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the ham is heated through and the pineapple is caramelized.
- Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
- Substitute shrimp or chicken for the ham for a different protein option.
