Ingredients
2 bell peppers, seeded and cut into eighths
2 cups ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, cut into eighths
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach full temperature for 5-10 minutes.
Thread ham cubes, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and onion pieces alternately onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, dividing ingredients evenly among 6 skewers.
Place skewers directly on the grill grates and cook for 3-5 minutes, then rotate and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes, until ham is heated through and vegetables develop light char marks.
Brush all sides of the skewers generously with teriyaki sauce, then return to the grill and cook for 1 minute per side, allowing the glaze to caramelize lightly.
Transfer skewers to a serving platter and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is a pantry staple or produce bin find at any Charlotte grocery chain, making this a zero-friction shop. The real prep time is closer to 20 minutes once you account for cubing pineapple and peppers and threading skewers, not 45, so the stated time is inflated by grill and rest padding. Cost per serving lands around $2.50 to $3.00 because you're building on sale ham and canned or fresh pineapple, which is genuinely affordable for a grilled entrée. The dish works fine for a family weeknight and requires only basic attention during the 10-15 minute grill time, though leftovers are best eaten same-day since reheated ham and pineapple tend toward rubbery textures rather than improving with time.
