Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar

Instructions
Peel the pineapple, remove its core, and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, lime juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to form a sugar glaze.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the pineapple slices evenly on both sides with the sugar glaze.
Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple starts to caramelize.
Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it generously over the pineapple slices.
Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or topping for grilled meats or ice cream.
