Ingredients

1 ripe pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into rings or spears
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter melted
½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Brush both sides of the pineapple pieces with the glaze.
Grill pineapple for 2–3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Recipe Variations:

Spiced Rum Glaze – Stir in a tablespoon of spiced rum for a deeper, richer flavor with a little kick.
Coconut Twist – Swap the butter for coconut oil and sprinkle toasted coconut on top after grilling.
Chili-Lime Kick – Add a pinch of chili powder, cayenne, and a little lime zest for a sweet-and-spicy spin.

How To Store: Let the grilled pineapple cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s delicious cold, but you can warm it up in a skillet or microwave before serving if you’d like!
