Ingredients
Scale
Grilled Pineapple
- 1 pineapple, cored, peeled, and cut into ¾-inch slices
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil, more if needed to thin out the mixture
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, olive or avocado oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Coat the Pineapple: Add the pineapple slices to the glaze mixture and toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated with the buttery spiced glaze.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, aiming for a temperature between 350°F and 400°F to get a perfect caramelization without burning.
- Grill the Pineapple: Place the coated pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes total, flipping at the halfway point or four times for attractive criss-cross grill marks. While grilling, brush the pineapple slices occasionally with the remaining glaze to enhance flavor and juiciness.
- Serve Warm: Remove the grilled pineapple rings from the grill and serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy as a sweet side or dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the sweetest flavor and best grilling results.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference or substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or broiler setting in your oven as an alternative.
- Brush the glaze several times during grilling to keep the pineapple moist and flavorful.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sprinkle with chili powder for an exciting twist.
