These Hawaiian Grilled Shish Kabobs with Ham are perfect for a tropical meal, combining juicy pineapple, tender ham, and a flavorful glaze!
Ingredients
- 6 oz pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1/4 cup extra light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp ginger paste or minced ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14 oz fully cooked ham steaks cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 fresh pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch squares
- 1/4 large red onion cut into 1-inch squares
- cooking oil for the grill
- 1 bag frozen tater tot rounds
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir occasionally until it reduces by half and thickens into a glaze.
- While the sauce simmers, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Set them aside. Cook the tater tots according to the package directions.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread ham, pineapple, peppers, and onions alternately on the skewers, ensuring the ingredients touch but aren’t squashed together.
- Use a pair of tongs to hold a wad of paper towels soaked in cooking oil, and rub the hot grill grates with it to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly charred. Brush the kabobs with the reserved glaze every time you turn them.
- Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill. Serve alongside hot, crispy tater tots and enjoy your tropical meal!
