grilled fruit

Ingredients: 

• fruit (watermelon, pineapple, peaches, nectarines, bananas, pears, grapefruit, plums, cantaloupe, strawberries - many types of fruit can work!) 

• olive oil

• course sea salt

• freshly ground pepper 

• skewers (optional)

Directions: 

Heat your braai to medium heat.

Toss the fruit of your choice in olive oil, adding salt and pepper. If you are going to skewer your fruit, do so now. You can also put larger pieces directly on the braai grates.

Fruit cooks very quickly so keep a close eye.

Grilled fruit is amazing on its own, as a snack or as dessert alongside ice cream. It is also brilliant in a salad to make it a main. For a sweeter twist, honey can be drizzled. Lemon or lime juice can be used to brighten the flavors. Glazed balsamic also works well on sweeter fruits like watermelon or strawberries for a savory spin. Fresh herbs can also be used to garnish - we like rosemary a lot here.
