Description
Grilled Pineapple is a delicious summer treat that combines sweet and savory flavors with a smoky char from the grill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pineapples (peeled and cored)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cut one pineapple into 8 rings by slicing the pineapple. Cut the other pineapple into spears by cutting it in half lengthwise, then cut those pieces in half lengthwise to make quarters, and then in half once again to make 8 spears.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grate with vegetable oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and salt until you have a sauce.
- Brush the sauce all over the pineapple rings and spears with a pastry brush.
- Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side. Brush each side in sauce again before flipping. For the rings, rotate 45 degrees to get a nice diamond grill mark pattern.
- Remove from the grill and serve warm as is or with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a dessert or a side dish.
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh mint.
- Ensure the grill is properly preheated for even cooking.
