Cup of Yum
Notes
- Make sure that you do not slice the pineapples too thin. Half an inch to three-fourths should do nicely. This will ensure that they hold up their shape during grilling.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple, you can use canned rings instead.
- You can make this recipe using an outdoor charcoal grill, electric grill, or a grill pan.
- Pre-heating and greasing your grill is important to ensure minimal sticking. Use a neutral oil to grease the grill before cooking.
- Make sure that you let the pineapples sit on the grill uninterrupted for 2 minutes on each side before flipping. Allow them to properly sear first before flipping.
