Ingredients
  

For the Grilling
  • 1 whole Pineapple Cut into 1/2 to 1 inch thick slices
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Melted; can substitute with coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar Can substitute with light brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Allspice can be used as a substitute
For Added Flavor
  • 1/4 tsp Cloves Ground Powder Optional based on preference
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin For extra depth
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder Omit if a milder flavor is preferred

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Tongs

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup of dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder. Stir well until fully blended to create a smooth marinade.
  2. Cut off the top and bottom of a fresh pineapple, make a vertical slit down the sides to remove the outer rind, then slice into 1/2 to 1-inch thick rings.
  3. Preheat your grill or grilling pan to medium heat (around 350°F/175°C). Brush grates with marinade to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the pineapple slices on the preheated grill and generously brush with more marinade. Cook for 2-5 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear.
  5. Using tongs, flip the slices, apply more marinade, and continue grilling for another 2-5 minutes until tender and charred.
  6. Remove the slices from heat and serve warm or cool, drizzling any remaining marinade on top.
