Directions

Step 1

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

7. Thread the tuna, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

8. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved glaze, until the tuna is cooked through and has grill marks.

Step 9
