Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple (fresh, medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or cooking spray)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom, then removing the rind with a sharp knife. Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices and remove the core with a small round cutter or knife, if desired.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and optional salt. Set aside.
Lightly brush the pineapple slices with vegetable oil or spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking on the grill.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to avoid sticking.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the pineapple slices.
Place the pineapple slices directly onto the hot grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized.
Remove the pineapple slices from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy as-is, or pair with ice cream, yogurt, or as a side to grilled meats.
