Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then carefully slice off the outer skin. Remove any remaining 'eyes' with a paring knife. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters and remove the core from each quarter. Slice each quarter into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, the zest from the lime, the juice from half the lime (about 1 tablespoon), and the ground cinnamon. Stir well to create the glaze. Set aside.
Lightly brush the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
While grilling the pineapple, brush each side with the honey-lime glaze during the last minute of grilling.
Once done, remove the pineapple slices from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
If desired, finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the grilled pineapple for added freshness.
Serve the grilled pineapple warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or a sweet side dish.
