Description

This Grilled Pineapple recipe is a delightful way to enjoy fresh pineapple with a sweet and spiced marinade. The pineapple is marinated in a blend of melted butter, dark brown sugar, dark rum, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, then grilled to caramelized perfection. Served warm and garnished with fresh parsley, this dish makes a perfect dessert or side for your barbecue gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Pineapple

  • 1 fresh pineapple

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark rum (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, carefully remove the rind, and slice the fruit into spears or rings depending on your preference for grilling.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, dark rum (if using), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Place the pineapple slices in a zip-top bag, pour the marinade over them, seal the bag, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat, aiming for a temperature between 375°F and 400°F to ensure even cooking and caramelization of the pineapple.
  4. Grill the Pineapple: Remove the pineapple from the marinade and place the pieces on the hot grill. Cook each side for 4-6 minutes, brushing occasionally with the leftover marinade to keep the pineapple moist and flavorful while allowing it to develop beautiful grill marks.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the grilled pineapple to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • You can omit the dark rum for a non-alcoholic version without sacrificing flavor.
  • Make sure the grill is properly preheated to get nice caramelized grill marks on the pineapple.
  • Marinating time can be increased up to 1 hour for a more intense flavor, but not longer as the acidity may break down the pineapple too much.
  • Use fresh parsley just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and freshness.
  • If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works well as an alternative.
