Grilled Pineapple Bliss – Sweet and Caramelized
- Simple to prepare in just 15 minutes.
- Transforms pineapple into a caramelized delicacy.
- Perfect for both desserts and savory dishes!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
How to Make
To prepare this delightful Grilled Pineapple Bliss, start by heating your grill to medium-high temperature. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush each pineapple ring with melted coconut oil on both sides and then sprinkle the sugar mixture generously over the rings. Once your grill is ready, place the pineapple rings on it and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the sugars start to caramelize. Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve warm for a perfect sweet and smoky treat!
Tips
- Choose ripe pineapples for maximum sweetness.
- Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique flavor.
- For a more intense caramelization, leave the pineapple on the grill for a little longer.
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the pineapple rings beforehand by cutting and storing them in the fridge. However, grilling is recommended just before serving for the best texture.
Storing
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed fresh, but they can be reheated.
Freezing
Grilled pineapple can be frozen, but the texture may change. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag to avoid sticking.
Reheating
Reheat grilled pineapple in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Grilled Pineapple Bliss with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, on top of pancakes, or as a savory side to grilled meats. It’s versatile enough to pair with many dishes!
