Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Grilled Pineapple with Caramelized Brown Sugar:

1. Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright. Carefully slice the skin away from the flesh, making sure to remove any “eyes” (the black spots) as you go.
2. Slice the Pineapple: Cut the pineapple into thick rings, approximately 1 inch in thickness. You can also cut them into spears or chunks if you prefer.
3. Mix the Caramel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan indoors, make sure it is hot before adding the pineapple.
5. Coat the Pineapple: Brush the pineapple slices lightly with cooking spray or coconut oil. This step prevents sticking and adds flavor.
6. Apply the Sugar Mixture: Generously sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over one side of the pineapple slices.
7. Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices on the grill sugar side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and slightly charred.
8. Flip and Continue Grilling: Carefully turn the slices using tongs. Sprinkle more of the sugar mixture on the other side. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes.
9. Remove from Grill: Once both sides are caramelized and the pineapple is warm, remove it from the grill and set aside.
10. Serve Warm: It’s best to enjoy the pineapple while it’s warm, allowing the caramel to melt slightly.
