Instructions
- Step 1: Thread 1 large cubed bell pepper, 1 cup cubed pineapple, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup cubed red onion onto 4 skewers, alternating colors for a vibrant sunset pattern.

- Step 3: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
