Ingredients

• 1 whole Pineapple (fresh, medium-sized)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or cooking spray)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom, then removing the rind with a sharp knife. Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices and remove the core with a small round cutter or knife, if desired.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and optional salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Lightly brush the pineapple slices with vegetable oil or spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking on the grill.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to avoid sticking.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the pineapple slices.

Step 6

Place the pineapple slices directly onto the hot grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the pineapple slices from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy as-is, or pair with ice cream, yogurt, or as a side to grilled meats.
