Grilled Pineapple – Two Ingredients!

This delicious pineapple is coated in brown sugar and then grilled to perfection! It only requires two ingredients and five minutes. You can eat it for a side with the rest of your meal or as dessert it’s that delicious!

I love pineapple. I’ll take it in any form that I can get it. I’ll definitely take this delicious grilled pineapple! I love that it’s only two ingredients, pineapple and brown sugar, that it’s ready in 15 minutes which includes the marinating time and that it’s refreshing!

You can either serve this easy grilled pineapple as a side dish to your favorite grilled main dish or even serve it as a dessert. I personally think the dessert is an awesome idea because it’s a bit lighter but it’s so sweet you will still be satisfied.

The brown sugar glaze becomes caramelized while the pineapple grills and it’s sinfully delicious.

2 Ingredient Grilled Pineapple!

That’s right, you only need two ingredients to make this sweet treat on your grill.

• Pineapple
• Brown Sugar

How to Cut Pineapple

• The first thing to do is to trim off the ends of the pineapple.
• Stand the pineapple up. Hold the knife parallel to the pineapple and shave off the outer skin.
• Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise. Then slice out the middle core.
• You can either slice it into half circles like we did or you can also cut into wedges, which ever you prefer.

How to Grill Pineapple

• First of all it might be the simplest recipe ever. Can I even call it a recipe when it only have two ingredients?
• The first step is to simply clean and grease your grill grates. Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees.
• cut the rind off of the pineapple. You’ll then want to cut it into slices or wedges. I personally use this pineapple cutter and it works great. Then I just slice the pineapple about 1/2” thick. After that I place it in a gallon Ziploc bag, but you could use a container.
• Sprinkle it with the brown sugar, toss to coat and let is rest 10 minutes.
• Place on grill and grill each side 2-3 minutes, rotate 45 degrees and grill an additional 2-3 minutes.  Then flip over and repeat.
• You can also make this in a grill pan on the stove if you’d like to make it indoors.

Variations

• Also, some people like to add cinnamon with the brown sugar. If you’d like to do that add about 1 tsp cinnamon when you sprinkle the brown sugar on the pineapple.
• You can use honey instead of brown sugar, too.
• Soak your pineapple slices in Malibu Rum and then grill. Throw them on a big bowl of ice cream for sweet treat.
• Like it hot? This sounds crazy, but try some chili powder on it after you are done grilling.
