Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 1/4 cup (about 85g) honey (wildflower or clover honey recommended)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil (optional, for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, ground cinnamon, fresh lemon or lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to blend.
- Heat grill to medium-high (around 375°F or 190°C). Brush grill grates with melted butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Place pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the cinnamon honey drizzle as they cook until caramelized and golden.
- Transfer grilled pineapple to a serving plate and drizzle any leftover cinnamon honey over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Watch for flare-ups due to honey’s sugar content; move pineapple slices if needed. Brush grill grates with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Let pineapple rest a couple of minutes after grilling for juicier bites. Drizzle can be prepared ahead and stored in fridge.
