Ingredients

Preparation Method


To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. While your oven is preheating, let's make the meatballs. Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and egg in a large bowl. Mix these ingredients together until they are well incorporated. Roll the mixture into roughly 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet. Pop these into the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

While the meatballs are cooking, we can make the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and the dissolved cornstarch. Stir these ingredients together over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken. This should take about 10 minutes. Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from heat.

Now, let’s assemble the skewers. Thread a meatball, a chunk of bell pepper, a chunk of onion, another meatball, and finally a pineapple chunk onto a skewer. Repeat this process until all your skewers are full. Once your skewers are assembled, brush them generously with your homemade sweet and sour sauce.

Now, place these skewers on a baking tray and broil them in your oven for about 5 minutes. This will give them a nice char and help the flavors to meld together. After broiling, brush the skewers with the remaining sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
