Grilled pineapple is just so effin fabulous!
I think the first time I had grilled pineapple was at a Brazilian steakhouse, and I swear it blew my mind! Pineapple, with brown sugar, grilled? BRILLIANT! It was a bit of a ‘why haven’t I don’t this yet?’ moment for me.
Now, regardless of occasion, any time I find a ripe pineapple I bring it home and grill the sucker. It’s a great and mildly healthy dessert option for kids or adults. It’s quick and easy—no grill, no problem. Bake it. Perfect for summer cookouts or picnics. It’s so yummy and goes with just about anything. I like it on pancakes, on my daliya, by itself, with ice cream, or even with cardamom saffron rosewater custard.
As I’ve said in other posts, I really don’t remember eating fresh pineapple in India, which is shocking. You’d think it would grow perfectly there. Maybe it was always there and I was too mango and lychee obsessed to notice? Regardless of the situation, I’m quite grateful to have yearly access to beautifully ripened pineapples. As a side note, even if the pineapple isn’t perfectly ripe throwing some sugar and cinnamon on it will help bring out it’s perfection.

Ingredients
1 Whole pineapple, sliced
10 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- Prepare your grill.
- Peel and thickly slice the pineapple. You can core them if you’d like, I just find it easier to grill the slices if they aren’t cored.
- Arrange the slices of pineapple on a baking sheet.
- Evenly coat the pineapple with brown sugar.
- Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on pineapple slices.
- Place the pineapple slices on to the grill and cook until grill marks appear on both sides and sugar has lightly caramelized. Approximately 2-3 minutes per slice.
- Remove from grill and serve.
