Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe pineapple
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 whole lime
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright and cut away the skin. Remove any remaining eyes with a paring knife.
- 2
Cut the pineapple into 0.75 inch thick rings. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to remove the core from each ring, if desired.
- 3
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp brown sugar, 0.5 tsp cinnamon, and the zest of the lime. Set aside.
- 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the pineapple rings with the 1 tbsp vegetable oil on both sides.
- 5
Grill the pineapple rings for 3-4 minutes per side, until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened, but still hold their shape.
- 6
During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the rings, pressing gently so it sticks.
- 7
Remove the pineapple from the grill and squeeze the lime juice over the top. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of yogurt.
