Ingredients

1 whole fresh pineapple
100 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Peel the pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the skin, removing any remaining 'eyes' with a paring knife.

Step 3

Cut the pineapple into long wedges or rings, removing the core if desired.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 5

Brush each pineapple piece with melted butter, coating all sides evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously onto each pineapple piece, ensuring all sides are well covered.

Step 7

Place the pineapple pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the sugar has caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the grilled pineapple from the heat and serve immediately as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
