Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or neutral oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and core the fresh pineapple. Slice it into rings approximately 1/2 inch thick or into long wedges, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates or pan with cooking spray or a neutral oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Brush both sides of each pineapple slice with the prepared maple glaze, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized and slightly softened.
Step 6
Optional: While the pineapple is still warm, sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Step 7
Serve the grilled pineapple immediately as a warm side dish, dessert, or topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes.
