Grilled Pineapples
Description
The Grilled Pineapples recipe features ripe pineapple slices brushed with a blend of vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. The coated slices are grilled briefly on each side, allowing the sugar and butter mixture to caramelize and develop a rich glaze. The heat softens the pineapple while preserving its juiciness, creating a balance of tender texture and sweet, slightly spiced flavor.
The recipe suggests preheating and greasing the grill to prevent sticking, and a grilling time of about 2 minutes per side to ensure proper searing. These pineapples can be served as a warm dessert, a sweet complement to grilled meats, or a component in fruit salads. Using half- to three-quarter-inch thick slices helps maintain the pineapples’ shape and juiciness during grilling.
Attention to preparation includes maintaining slice thickness and preheating the grill, with alternatives like canned pineapple rings being possible substitutes. Greasing with neutral oil is recommended to minimize sticking and achieve even grilling.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 1 pineapple peeled, cored, and sliced, ripe
Instructions
- In a small bowl, heat the butter. Whisk in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt.
- Preheat the grill and lightly oil or spray. If you’re using a grill pan, preheat on medium-high and spray.
- Brush the mixture onto both sides of each pineapple slice and place it on the grill for 2 minutes on each side.
Notes
- Cut pineapple slices about half an inch to three-fourths inch thick to maintain shape on the grill.
- Canned pineapple rings can be used if fresh pineapple is not available.
- Preheat and lightly grease the grill to prevent sticking; a neutral oil is preferred.
- Let pineapple slices sear without moving for about 2 minutes per side for proper caramelization.
