Elevate your dessert game with Bourbon Broiled Pineapple, a quick and irresistible treat that balances smoky caramelized sweetness with a hint of boozy sophistication. Juicy pineapple slices are brushed with a luscious glaze made from brown sugar, bourbon, melted butter, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla, then broiled to golden perfection. The broiler intensifies the pineapple’s natural sugars, creating a sticky, caramel-like coating while adding a slight char for depth of flavor. In just 20 minutes of prep and cook time, you’ll have a tropical indulgence perfect for pairing with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream—or enjoying solo for a lighter option. Whether served as a summer barbecue finale or a holiday crowd-pleaser, this easy-to-make recipe will delight every palate.
Preheat your oven's broiler on the high setting and position a rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and cut it into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges, depending on your preference.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 15–20 seconds).
Mix the melted butter with brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer on a large, broiler-safe baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Brush the bourbon glaze generously over both sides of the pineapple slices.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 4–5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The glaze should bubble and the pineapple should start to caramelize.
Flip the pineapple slices, brush with more glaze if needed, and broil for another 4–5 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, or enjoy on its own!
