  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Ripe pineapple (Make sure it is ripe for the best flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (Dark brown sugar can be used for a richer flavor.)
  • 1 tablespoon Melted butter (Can substitute with coconut oil for a tropical twist.)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional; adds warm spices for extra depth.)
  • Fresh mint (for garnish, optional; complements the dish visually and flavor-wise.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Cut the pineapple into thick slices, removing the skin and core.
  3. Combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  4. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the pineapple slices.
  5. Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until caramelized and grill marks appear.

Notes

Brush the brown sugar mixture generously on both sides to ensure even flavor and caramelization. Consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
