Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled pineapple recipe featuring a sweet and warm brown sugar cinnamon glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill, perfect as a side dish or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe but firm fresh pineapple
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then slice into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) thick rings or wedges. Remove the core if preferred.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter or coconut oil, ground cinnamon, lime juice, and vanilla extract if using until smooth and glossy.
  4. Brush the glaze generously onto both sides of each pineapple slice.
  5. Place the slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized with grill marks and softened fruit.
  6. Use tongs to carefully flip the pineapple and brush the second side with more glaze immediately after flipping.
  7. Check for doneness: pineapple should be tender but not mushy, with a warm, spiced aroma and bubbly caramelized glaze.
  8. Remove from grill and serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or atop vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

Notes

If glaze burns before pineapple is cooked, move slices to cooler part of grill or reduce heat. For vegan version, use coconut oil and coconut sugar or maple syrup. Canned pineapple can be used but fresh is preferred for best texture and flavor. Broiling in oven is a good alternative if no grill is available.
