Ingredients

  1. 1/2 5-to-6-pound seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  2. 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
  3. 2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and cut into 1-inch cubes
  4. Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  5. Vegetable oil, for brushing
  6. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  7. Coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soak 18 wooden skewers in water 20 minutes. Thread the watermelon, pineapple and mango cubes on the skewers. Put the skewers in a large zip-top plastic bag, being careful not to puncture the bag; add the lime juice, seal and toss gently to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Remove the skewers from the bag and place on a baking sheet. Brush the fruit with vegetable oil and place the skewers on the grill. Grill, turning once, until marks appear, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  3. Combine the lime zest, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over the grilled fruit.
