Savor grilled pineapple coated in cinnamon sugar, a sweet treat that adds flavor to BBQs and gatherings. Perfect for dessert lovers!
Ingredients
Scale
1 ripe pineapple
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting off the crown and the base of your pineapple, and stand it upright. Carefully slice off the outer skin, removing the 'eyes.' Then, cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices. You can leave the core in or cut it out; it’s really up to you!
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar. This is where the magic begins! You’ll want to taste this mix; I always do, just to make sure it’s right.
Coat the Pineapple: Lightly brush your pineapple slices with cooking spray or oil. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously all over the slices. Don’t hold back – this is flavor-packed goodness!
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Don’t rush this step—it’s where the magic happens! If you’re using an outdoor grill, this is also a great time to gather your friends for some pre-dinner chatting!
Grill the Pineapple: Once preheated, place your pineapple slices on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until you see beautiful grill marks and the fruit is tender and caramelized. Your kitchen will smell out of this world!
Serve and Enjoy: Finally, serve your grilled pineapple warm. A squeeze of fresh lime or a drizzle of honey over the top can make this even more special. Plate it beautifully, and watch as your guests admire your work!
