Let's dive right in!

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

• 4 cloves garlic chopped

• ¼ tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

• 12 oz raw lean boneless pork loin cut into 12 1-inch cubes

• 1 large sweet potato peeled, cut into 12 1-inch cubes

• 1 medium onion cut into 12 1-inch cubes

• 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 12 1-inch cubes

• 1 medium green bell pepper cut into 12 1-inch cubes

Combine oil, lemon juice, rosemary, parsley, garlic, and salt in a large resealable bag.

Add pork; marinate, refrigerated, for 30 minutes (to 4 hours).

Preheat grill or broiler on high.

Boil water in steamer or large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place sweet potato pieces in steamer basket; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Place in ice water bath to stop cooking process. Set aside.

Place a piece of pork, sweet potato, onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper onto a skewer. Repeat, so the skewer has two pieces of each ingredient. Repeat with five remaining skewers. Discard marinade that contained pork.

Grill (or broil) skewers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, or until sweet potato is softened and pork is no longer pink in the middle. Want more healthy recipes, at-home workouts and training tips? Click here!
