  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 Pineapple (peeled and cored)
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grill: Begin by heating your grill to medium direct heat, which is ideal for caramelizing the pineapple slices without burning.
  2. Slice the Pineapple: Cut the peeled and cored pineapple into 6 even slices to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is fully incorporated, creating a sweet and spicy glaze.
  4. Coat the Pineapple: Drizzle the cinnamon sugar butter evenly over both sides of each pineapple slice to enhance flavor and caramelization.
  5. Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once halfway through to achieve even grilling and a nice char.
  6. Serve: Remove the pineapple from the grill and serve warm as a tasty side dish or dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapples for the best flavor and texture.
  • Monitor the grill closely to prevent burning the sugar glaze.
  • Optional: sprinkle a pinch of chili powder before grilling for a spicy twist.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a topping on ice cream or yogurt.
