Description

This Brown Sugar Grilled Pineapple is juicy, caramelized, and bursting with flavor. The simple brown sugar and cinnamon coating creates a golden, slightly sticky glaze that pairs beautifully with the pineapple’s natural sweetness. Serve it on its own, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or alongside grilled meats for a tropical twist!

Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or spears
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
Optional: honey or lime juice for drizzling

Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

Preheat grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Mix the coating: In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
Coat the pineapple: Brush the sugar mixture onto both sides of the pineapple slices.
Grill: Place pineapple on the grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the sugar starts to caramelize.

Serve: Remove from grill and serve warm. Optional: drizzle with honey or a squeeze of lime juice. Top with ice cream or whipped cream for dessert!

Notes

You can also grill pineapple in a grill pan indoors.
Cut into chunks after grilling for fruit salads, tacos, or parfaits.
Try adding a pinch of chili powder for a sweet-spicy kick.
