Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or wedges) pineapple
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- optional garnish: fresh mint leaves
- optional accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the pineapple slices in a single layer.
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and slicing it into rings or wedges. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the caramel mixture from heat and stir in the lime juice. Let it cool slightly.
Arrange the pineapple slices in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the pineapple, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Roast the pineapple in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the slices halfway through, until the pineapple is caramelized and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pineapple cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the caramel roasted pineapple warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves and pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
