Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Preheat Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the pineapple chunks evenly onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.
- Brush with Glaze: Generously brush the pineapple pieces with the prepared honey-lime glaze for added flavor and caramelization.
- Grill Pineapple: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the pineapple is lightly charred and caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve warm as a sweet and tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- If a grill is not available, these pineapple skewers can be made under the broiler for similar caramelization.
- For a savory twist, sprinkle lightly with chili powder before grilling to add a spicy kick.
