Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings Make sure it's ripe for optimal sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, for grilling Melted for easy application.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) For added warmth.
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (optional) To enhance flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and coring the pineapple. Cut it into thick rings or wedges depending on your preference.
  2. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar with optional cinnamon to create the delicious caramelized crust.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high. If using a grill pan on the stove, ensure it's hot as well.
  4. Lightly brush the pineapple slices with melted butter on both sides, and generously coat them with the brown sugar mixture.
Grilling

Serving

Notes

For an even better flavor, feel free to substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or mix in some vanilla extract with the butter. Best enjoyed fresh off the grill.
