Grilled Pineapple Recipe: Sweet & Smoky Delight

Mouthwatering Maple Grilled Pineapple

Today, I’m sharing a delightful recipe that perfectly captures the essence of summer – my mouthwatering maple grilled pineapple. The sweetness of the pineapple combined with the rich flavors of maple syrup create a unique and irresistible dish that is perfect for any backyard BBQ or sunny day treat.

Ingredients:

<li data-ingredient="1 ripe pineapple (about 800g), peeled and cored

<li data-ingredient="1/4 cup maple syrup

<li data-ingredient="1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

<li data-ingredient="Pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

To start, preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the pineapple into rings or spears, depending on your preference. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt to create a glaze.

Place the pineapple on the grill pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form. Use the basting brush to generously coat each piece of pineapple with the maple glaze while grilling, allowing the flavors to caramelize and intensify.

Once the pineapple is grilled to perfection, remove it from the heat and place it on a serving platter. The intoxicating aroma of grilled pineapple and maple syrup will surely have your mouth watering.

This dish is best served warm, allowing the sweetness of the maple syrup to contrast beautifully with the smokiness of the grill. The caramelized edges of the pineapple add a delightful crunch, while the warm, juicy center melts in your mouth.

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of this mouthwatering maple grilled pineapple is approximately 150 calories.

One clever tip to enhance the flavors of this dish is to sprinkle some shredded coconut over the grilled pineapple before serving. The nuttiness of the coconut adds a delightful texture and another layer of flavor to this already delicious treat.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and make it your own by adding your favorite toppings or serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for a summer BBQ or a quick and easy dessert that will surely impress your guests. Enjoy!
