grilled pineapple caramelized with brown sugar

Inspired by my recipe for grilled peaches, I decided peaches shouldn't have all the fun with grilling! So try this tangy pineapple dessert for a twist on grilled fruit!

Ingredients

Pineapple: Make sure to use fresh pineapple to get the best results for this dessert!
Brown sugar: This sugar gives a deep, caramel-like flavor to this dish.
Butter: Salted or unsalted works just fine!
Cinnamon: This recipe calls for a dash of cinnamon to elevate the flavor.

Instructions

Melt together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Brush the brown sugar mixture over each side of the sliced pineapple.
Grill the pineapple for around 8 minutes (flip halfway through), and remove once golden brown.

Tips

After grilling, I like to brush the pineapple with any leftover brown sugar mixture!
Serve alone or with ice cream.
Make sure to wipe the grill before using so you don’t get any unwanted flavors!

FAQs

Can I use a different fat besides butter?

I have only used butter for this recipe, however if you want to make this recipe vegan, you can use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil! I would not use any stronger flavored oils because it could disrupt the flavor of this dish!

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Just replace the butter with canola or vegetable oil.
