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.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 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.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations!
