Kid-Friendly Mod: Serve it deconstructed - with 1 piece of each ingredient. Serve with at least 1 safe food that you’re fairly confident they’ll eat to boost their bravery to try the rest of their meal. This would be a great meal to serve with rice / pasta / or mac n cheese if any of those are safe foods for your kiddos!

Fave BBQ seasonings

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Throw all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes & pineapple chunks onto a lined sheet pan and coat with desired seasonings and sauce (you could do this in a bowl first, but i’m lazy and like to skip the extra dish). You may need 2 baking sheets.

Serve with additional BBQ drizzled ontop.
