Description

This Grilled Pineapple recipe features juicy pineapple rings caramelized to perfection on the grill, brushed with a zesty and sweet brown sugar glaze enhanced with lime and coconut flavors. It’s a quick and easy summer treat that can be enjoyed as a dessert or a unique side, elevated further with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Ingredients

Pineapple

  • 1 ripe pineapple

Glaze

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp lime juice (about 2 small limes)
  • 3/4 tsp coconut extract
  • 2 tsp flaky sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Lime zest
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium heat, aiming for 300-350°F (150-175°C). Allow it to preheat thoroughly to ensure even cooking and proper caramelization of the pineapple slices.
  2. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel the ripe pineapple carefully, removing all the skin. Core the pineapple completely, then slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Depending on the pineapple size, you should obtain approximately 12 rings.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, melted salted butter, fresh lime juice, and coconut extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Brush with Glaze: Generously brush both sides of each pineapple ring with the prepared brown sugar glaze. After glazing, sprinkle both sides evenly with flaky sea salt to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Grill the Pineapple: Place the glazed pineapple rings on the preheated grill. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pineapple slices develop beautiful caramelization and grill marks, ensuring they are tender but still hold their shape.
  6. Plate and Serve: Remove the grilled pineapple carefully from the grill and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with lime zest or serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Make sure the grill is well preheated to avoid sticking; lightly oil the grill grates if needed.
  • The coconut extract adds a subtle tropical flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar slightly.
  • Grilled pineapple can also be served as a side with grilled meats or in salads for a sweet and smoky twist.
  • Use fresh pineapple rather than canned for best flavor and texture.
