Description
Grilled pineapple is a delicious tropical fruit that has been cooked on a grill to give it a caramelized exterior and an enhanced sweet and tangy taste. It makes for a great addition to any BBQ or summer menu and can be enjoyed on its own as a healthy snack or used as a topping on burgers, salads, or desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple - peeled, cored and cut into 1/4in rings
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Cut the outer edge of the pineapple off and then slice it in 1/4 in rings. I like to take the core of the pineapple out after I've cut the pineapple into rings.
- Place pineapple in a large resealable plastic bag. Add honey and butter. Seal bag, and shake to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
- Grill pineapple for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until heated through and grill marks appear.
- Top with ice cream or cool whip!
- Serving size: 1 grilled pineapple ring + 1/2 cup of whipped topping.
Notes
myWW points: Blue 3; Green 3; Purple 3
Juices and sugars from the pineapple marinade can easily stick to a grill when the food is cooking. They burn and turn black easily.
