This Brazilian Grilled Pineapple recipe offers a sweet and smoky flavor by caramelizing pineapple strips on the grill, enhanced with a cinnamon-spiced brown sugar coating and a drizzle of honey. Perfect as a refreshing dessert or a unique side dish for your summer BBQs, this recipe is quick to prepare and yields beautifully caramelized pineapple with a hint of warmth from the cinnamon.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 pineapple (cut into strips)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mix: In a baking dish, combine 1 cup of light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mixing them thoroughly to create a fragrant coating for the pineapple.
  2. Coat the pineapple: Cut the pineapple into long strips. Transfer them to the baking dish with the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss gently to ensure all pineapple strips are evenly coated. For enhanced flavor, let the pineapple marinate in the sugar mixture for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to 450°F (232°C). Spray or oil the grill grates well to prevent the pineapple from sticking during cooking.
  4. Grill the pineapple: Place the coated pineapple strips onto the grill. Grill each side for about 10 minutes or until they develop a golden brown color and caramelize beautifully.
  5. Finish and serve: Transfer the grilled pineapple strips back to the baking dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Allowing pineapple to marinate in the cinnamon sugar mixture enhances flavor and helps tenderize the fruit.
  • Be sure to spray or oil the grill grates thoroughly to avoid sticking and tearing of the pineapple strips.
  • Grilled pineapple pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or fresh mint for an added burst of freshness.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
