Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh pineapple
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the skin, removing any remaining 'eyes' with a paring knife.
Cut the pineapple into long wedges or rings, removing the core if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Brush each pineapple piece with melted butter, coating all sides evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously onto each pineapple piece, ensuring all sides are well covered.
Place the pineapple pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the sugar has caramelized.
Remove the grilled pineapple from the heat and serve immediately as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
