Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 whole fresh pineapple
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar optional
  • 1 tbsp melted butter optional

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Bowl (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and core one whole pineapple, then slice it into thick rings or spears, ensuring consistency for even cooking.
  2. If desired, toss the pineapple slices in a bowl with melted butter and brown sugar until each piece is lightly coated.
  3. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent the pineapple from sticking and to ensure easy release.
Grilling
  1. Place the prepared pineapple slices directly onto the preheated grill, cooking them for 2 to 4 minutes on each side until distinct grill marks form and they appear caramelized and tender.

Notes

For an extra tropical flavor, drizzle with a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of shredded coconut after grilling. This dish can be served warm as a dessert, a side to savory meats, or even as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.
