Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple:

  1. Peel and Core: Peel the pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing off the sides. Remove any remaining “eyes” with a paring knife. Core the pineapple using a pineapple corer or by cutting around the core with a knife.

  2. Slice: Slice the pineapple into rings that are about ½-inch thick, or cut into wedges.

  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Grill the Pineapple:

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F or 175-200°C). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed.

  2. Brush with Butter/Oil (Optional): If desired, brush the pineapple slices or wedges with melted butter or coconut oil. This will help prevent sticking and add a touch of richness.

  3. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the pineapple slices or wedges.

  4. Grill: Place the pineapple on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly softened and caramelized.

  5. Check for Doneness: The pineapple is ready when it is heated through, slightly softened, and has beautiful grill marks.

Serve:

  1. Remove from Grill: Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.

  2. Serve Immediately: Serve the grilled pineapple warm, either on its own or with your favorite toppings.
