Ingredients

  • 1 whole pineapple , peeled, cored and cut into spears [See Note 1]
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Garnish:

  • whipped cream
  • toasted coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. [See Note 2]
  • Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon until well combined.
  • Pour cinnamon-sugar mixture over cut pineapple, coating all surfaces, and then marinate for 30 minutes. This allows the natural juices to for a glaze.
  • Place pineapple on the prepared grill and cook until the sugars are caramelized and the pineapple is tender 1-3 minutes on the each side- depending on thickness.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Most grocers sell fresh pineapple rings or spears already cut with core removed. My store often has these pre-cut pineapples on sale at lower prices than whole pineapples.
  2. Not recommended for indoor grill surfaces as the sugars smoke a lot during caramelization.
