Cut duck breasts into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, lime juice, and black pepper.

Add duck pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated duck pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.

Brush grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until caramelized and cooked through.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes before serving.
