Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Start by preparing the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom, then slice off the skin. Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise and remove the core from each quarter.
Cut each quarter into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, honey, lime juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
Lay the pineapple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the pineapple slices generously with the butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated on both sides.
Roast the pineapple in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the pineapple is tender.
Remove the roasted pineapple from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted pineapple warm, optionally drizzled with additional honey if desired.
