Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or neutral oil
Instructions
Peel and core the fresh pineapple. Slice it into rings approximately 1/2 inch thick or into long wedges, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates or pan with cooking spray or a neutral oil to prevent sticking.
Brush both sides of each pineapple slice with the prepared maple glaze, ensuring an even coating.
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized and slightly softened.
Optional: While the pineapple is still warm, sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Serve the grilled pineapple immediately as a warm side dish, dessert, or topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes.
