Scale
Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick rings or slices
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, melted butter or coconut oil, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a smooth glaze.
- Coat the pineapple: Brush both sides of each pineapple slice thoroughly with the glaze mixture for maximum flavor.
- Grill the pineapple: Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until you see grill marks and the pineapple becomes slightly caramelized and tender.
- Serve: Remove the pineapple from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy them as is or use as a delicious topping for ice cream, yogurt, or alongside grilled meats.
Notes
- Serve grilled pineapple with ice cream, yogurt, or alongside grilled meats for a sweet and savory combination.
- For a lighter version, skip the brown sugar and use only a light brush of honey.
- Grilled pineapple can also be prepared on a grill pan indoors if an outdoor grill is not available.
