Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the pineapple by removing the top and bottom, then slicing off the outer skin. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rings and remove the core from each ring.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey, melted unsalted butter, and ground cinnamon. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to loosen the mixture if necessary, and whisk until smooth.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates or pan using cooking spray or a high-heat oil to prevent sticking.
Brush both sides of each pineapple ring generously with the honey glaze, reserving some glaze for later.
Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple softens slightly.
Remove the pineapple from the grill and brush it with the remaining honey glaze for extra flavor.
Serve warm as a dessert or side dish, optionally garnished with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
