Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, melted butter (or oil), cinnamon, and salt.
Brush the mixture over both sides of the pineapple slices.
Place pineapple directly on the grill grates.
Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is lightly caramelized.
Remove from the grill and serve warm.

Notes

You can skip the sugar and butter if you prefer a healthier version—the pineapple is naturally sweet!
Grilled pineapple pairs well with vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or grilled meats.
Try adding a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of chili powder for a flavor twist.
