Delicious Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon
This Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon is a refreshing dessert that bursts with tropical flavors. The pineapple’s natural sugars caramelize beautifully on the grill, creating a sweet and slightly charred exterior, while the cinnamon adds a warm spice that complements the fruit perfectly.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings or wedges
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush the pineapple slices with melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over them.
- Grill: Place the pineapple on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
