Description

This Caramelized Brown Sugar Cinnamon Grilled Pineapple recipe offers a deliciously sweet and smoky tropical treat. Juicy pineapple spears are coated in a buttery brown sugar and cinnamon caramel sauce, then grilled to perfection for a golden, caramelized flavor that’s perfect for summer desserts or side dishes.


Ingredients

Scale

Pineapple and Spice

  • 1 pineapple, cut into spears
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Caramel Sauce

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Lay the pineapple spears out evenly on a pan or tray. Lightly sprinkle the spears with cinnamon to coat the surface evenly, enhancing the flavor with a hint of warmth.
  2. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. If the mixture is too thick for easy pouring or brushing, microwave it for a few seconds to thin it out.
  3. Coat the Pineapple: Use a cooking brush to generously spread the cinnamon-butter and brown sugar mixture onto all sides of the pineapple spears, ensuring they are fully coated with the caramel sauce.
  4. Grill the Pineapple: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the coated pineapple spears directly onto the grill grates. Grill for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pineapples develop a golden brown color and caramelized edges.
  5. Serve: Once grilled, brush any remaining caramel sauce from the pan over the hot pineapple spears for extra flavor and a shiny finish. Serve warm for a delightful tropical treat.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil in the oven, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a decadent dessert.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
