Grilled Pineapple

Grilled pineapple is a deliciously sweet and tangy BBQ treat that enhances any outdoor gathering. The caramelization from grilling brings out the natural sugars, making it a perfect side or dessert option.

Ingredients

• Pineapple - 1 medium (about 900g)
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon (2g)
• Honey - 1 tablespoon (21g)
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings, about 1-inch thick.
3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, lime juice, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt to create a marinade.
4. Brush each pineapple ring generously with the marinade on both sides.
5. Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized.
6. Remove from the grill and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh mint.
