Grilled Pineapple with Honey and Cinnamon

23/11/2023

Grilled pineapple with honey and cinnamon is a simple but surprisingly delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of honey with the spicy aroma of cinnamon, all enhanced by the caramelized pineapple. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe but still firm pineapple
  • 2-3 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt (optional)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the grill (if necessary)

Preparation

  1. Turn on the grill (or a griddle) over medium-high heat and let it warm up well. If it tends to stick, you can grease it lightly with some butter or oil.

  2. In the meantime, peel the pineapple and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick, removing the tough central core.

  3. Sprinkle the pineapple slices with a bit of cinnamon and a pinch of salt, which helps to enhance the fruit’s sweetness.

  4. Once the grill is ready, place the pineapple slices on it and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and grill marks form.

  5. At this point, flip the slices over, and while the second side is cooking, brush the top with a thin layer of honey, so it can melt and adhere well to the pineapple.

  6. Serve the pineapple slices warm, perhaps accompanied by vanilla ice cream or an extra dusting of cinnamon.
