Description

This grilled pineapple recipe features juicy pineapple slices marinated in a sweet and tangy mixture of dark honey, olive oil, lime juice, and cinnamon, then grilled to golden perfection. It’s a simple, vibrant dessert or side that balances caramelized sweetness with a hint of spice, perfect served warm, optionally topped with ice cream for a refreshing contrast.

Ingredients

For the Pineapple Marinade

  • 8 pineapple slices (1/2 inch thick, from 1 pineapple)
  • 2 tbsp dark honey
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Topping

  • Ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together dark honey, olive oil, fresh lime juice, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set this flavorful marinade aside to be used on the pineapple slices.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking. This step is essential for achieving good grill marks and caramelization.
  3. Oil the Grill Grates: Lightly spray or brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the pineapple slices from sticking during grilling.
  4. Marinate the Pineapple: Lightly brush each pineapple slice generously with the prepared marinade to coat them evenly, which will enhance their sweetness and add a subtle citrus-spice flavor.
  5. Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Turn them once during cooking and baste with the remaining marinade one or two times to keep the fruit moist and flavorful. Grill until the pineapple is tender and has golden-brown grill marks.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the grilled pineapple slices from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, top with a scoop of ice cream to complement the warm caramelized fruit with a cool creamy touch.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm pineapples to ensure the slices hold together well on the grill.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan or outdoor grill, you can use a regular skillet or broiler, but monitor closely to avoid burning.
  • The marinade can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a day.
  • For a dairy-free option, serve without ice cream or choose a coconut-based alternative.
  • This grilled pineapple also pairs well with grilled meats or as a sweet side dish for summer barbecues.
