Chili-Lime Fruit on a Stick

Luscious skewered fruit gets a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of smoky Mexican-style chili seasoning, making an excellent appetizer for your next shindig or a juicy anytime snack. The chili seasoning, which features dried chipotle and ancho chile powders, cumin, and cinnamon, adds a delightful spicy contrast to the sweet fruit and tangy lime juice. We’ve used pineapple, mango, and honeydew melon, but feel free to mix and match with the fruit you have to hand. Papaya, cantaloupe, banana, and watermelon would also work well. For an extra fun presentation, stick the fruit skewers into a melon or pineapple half and serve the chili seasoning in a small shaker so everyone can sprinkle it on their own skewers. Fun and tasty, these crowd-pleasing fruit on a stick will be gobbled up pronto!

Tips

Leftover seasoning: The chili seasoning makes 2 tablespoons. Store leftover seasoning in an airtight container; it’ll last up to 3 months.

Gluten-free: To make this gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free dried chipotle and ancho chile powders.
