These Starry Fruit Kebabs are not only visually stunning but also incredibly refreshing and easy to make! Perfect for a summer BBQ, a vibrant potluck, or even a simple weeknight treat. Trust me; they’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I first made these for a friend's birthday party, and they were such a hit that I almost didn't get any myself! Remember that time I tried to make a cake and it was a total disaster? These are way easier, I promise!

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. You can easily customize it to your liking by adding other fruits, herbs, or even a touch of spice. Think about it—what flavors would you enjoy with the slightly tart and subtly sweet taste of star fruit? Personally, I love the combination of star fruit's brightness with the tropical sweetness of mango. I have a fond memory of making these kebabs during a holiday trip to the islands. The vibrant colours and sweet-tart flavour were perfectly suited to the warm, island vibe.

⏳ Yield & Time

Yield: 4 servings

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

🍽 Ingredients

1 medium Star fruit
1 teaspoon Lime juice (optional)
1 teaspoon Honey or agave (optional)

📖 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your broiler. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Wash and thoroughly dry the star fruit. Cut off the ends and slice the fruit into approximately 1/2-inch thick pieces. Try to keep the pieces relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
If using other fruits, wash and cut them into similarly sized pieces. Some delicious complements to star fruit include mango, pineapple, kiwi, and strawberries.
In a small bowl, gently combine any additional ingredients like lime juice or honey. This step is optional, but adds a nice touch!
Carefully thread the star fruit pieces onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking and browning.
Place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a broiler pan. If baking, bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the star fruit is slightly softened and caramelized. If broiling, broil for 3-5 minutes per side, watching closely to prevent burning.
Once cooked, carefully remove the kebabs from the oven or broiler and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!

📝 Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm star fruit.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
Adjust cooking time based on your oven and desired level of caramelization.
