Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple peeled, cored and cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • cooking spray
  • fresh raspberries and mint sprigs for garnish optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Coat grill grates with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon.
  3. Brush the brown sugar mixture over both sides of each pineapple slice.
  4. Place the pineapple slices on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with raspberries and mint if desired.

Notes

  • If you're pressed for time, feel free to buy pre-cut pineapple in the produce aisle, or you can even substitute canned pineapple rings in a pinch.
  • Leave the pineapple on the grill without moving the slices long enough for grill marks to appear.
  • I garnish my pineapple with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs for added color and flavor.
