MAKE SAUCE
- Combine yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well.6 ounces vanilla yogurt, 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Cover and refrigerate while you grill the pineapple.
GRILL KEBABS
- Submerge skewers in water and let soak for at least 15 minutes. (I like to put them in a rectangular glass baking dish, then put a smaller rectangular dish on top to keep them from floating.)6 wooden skewers
- Place 4 to 5 pineapple chunks on each skewer. Brush kebabs with olive oil.1 fresh pineapple, 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Spray cold grill grate with nonstick cooking spray or brush with additional oil.
- Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until you start to see grill marks and the pineapple softens, anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes. (Your timing will vary depending on how hot your grill is and how big your pineapple chunks are.) We like to wear heavy leather work gloves and turn the skewers by grabbing the ends with our hands, but you can use a spatula.
SERVE
- Sprinkle toasted coconut (if desired) on top of yogurt sauce.toasted coconut chips
- Serve skewers with sauce.
Notes
Time-saving tip: Buy pre-cut fresh pineapple chunks.
