Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Start by preparing the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple to create flat edges. Stand the pineapple upright, then carefully slice off the skin, removing any remaining eyes without losing too much flesh.
Slice the pineapple into ¾-inch thick rings, and use a corer or small cookie cutter to remove the core from each slice.
In a small bowl, prepare the honey-lime glaze. Zest the lime and then juice it. Combine the lime zest, lime juice, honey, and coconut oil in the bowl, whisking until well blended.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Brush each pineapple ring lightly with the honey-lime glaze, then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Place the pineapple rings on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
Once grilled, remove the pineapple rings from the grill and brush them with additional honey-lime glaze to enhance the flavor.
Chop or tear the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the grilled pineapple for a refreshing finish.
Serve the grilled pineapple warm as a side dish or dessert.
